Quilted table runner


I think this was the first quilting project I attempted.  I found a free pattern on the web and decided to make one for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.  I chose the colors to match the decor in her kitchen.  I used a stitch-in-the-ditch technique to quilt the runner.  I tried to used clear thread, but it kept on breaking.  I ended up using black thread on the top and in the bottom. 

The runner went together so quickly, I grabbed some scraps out of my fabric bin and made a second runner out of pink, green and cream fabric for my sister.  You can find the pattern for this project by following this link:  http://quiltbug.com/Free/table-topper.htm
