Finished Quilted Table Runner

I was able to complete the table runner in my last post this week.  I modified the technique quite a bit, but I ended up with a completed product that looks very similar.

Instead of sewing the strips directly to the back and batting, I pieced the strips together before I created the quilt sandwich.  I used my walking foot to "stitch in the ditch" along each seam. 

I used additional scraps to piece together the back of the runner.  I created the binding from one of the fabrics I used on the front.  I cheated and used my machine for all the sewing need to attach the binding.

I plan on bringing this runner to our cottage in the Finger Lakes.  The blues will compliment the slip covers I have on the couch and chair in the living room.
