I'm a little gob smacked because I just put the finishing touches on the the last of three
Rhubarb Crisp table runners. The gob smacked part comes into play not only because they are finished (and in relatively short time for me) but also for the fact that they included 440 tiny 1" x 2" flying geese!
They are just lovely.
I liked all of the elements before I started laying them out to sew but I have say that Jo Morton really knew what she was doing when she designed this pattern because when the corner stones were added in they really came to life. And I was more than thrilled to find this gold print in my stash - very similar to the style of print that she used.
I don't think that I will ever tire of those little 4" Sawtooth stars; it's so much fun to see them in different colours.
When she saw them Jane, was surprised at how tiny the pieces are, particularly the geese, as it didn't really come across in the photos that I had previously posted, so here's a pic with my scissors just to give you a sense of scale. The runners finish off at 14" x 38".
They need a good pressing and then I will have to figure out what to do for backing but that's relatively minor in the general scheme of things; I'm thinking that I will ask Roberta to quilt them on the longarm.
If someone had told me that I would have all three of these together inside of a month I would never have believed them - guess I went a little OCD. Happy, happy, happy 😄....M
Congratulations! I'm doing the 365 Challenge and I know all about 1 X 2 inches geese. To make 440 of them is mindblowing. Congrats! They look awesome! ;^)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a fabulous finish. All those geese are so precise. You used great fabrics for this design. I love all of Jo M's patterns.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Such pretty fall colors. And wow! That is fast.
ReplyDeleteOh my that is a heap of flying geese!
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing, well done
So much work! There's just something about little flying geese and of course, those yummy looking sawtooth stars. Some blocks just look a little bit better in the smaller version!:)
ReplyDeleteFabulous piecing, fabulous color palette...your flying geese are high above the ground in perfect formation!!
ReplyDeleteThose tablerunners are really lovely! I love quilted things made with tiny pieces, especially flying geese and stars!
ReplyDeleteNice work!! Those will be a lovely addition to the decor.
