I made this little tablerunner yesterday. A few years ago I made a quilted wallhanging from these blocks. I found the block pattern on the web and used a charm pack. I used most of the squares. While organizing my studio I found these leftovers in a bag and stitched into a tablerunner. The backing and binding are leftover fabric from a tote bag.
I decided to use a stipple stitch. It's been quite awhile since I did stippling but I think it turned out nicely. I stippled with the backing facing up. I find the blocks sometimes get in the way of free motion stitching. By stitching on the back, you still get lovely stitches on the top. I continue to use my scraps and leftovers. It is fun to see what you can come up with. I'm now working a a few squares using a circular template and scraps from the scrap basket.

Fabulous. Love how you worked all the bits and pieces together. Have a great rest of the week. :) Tammy
OHHHH Lovely piece!! That matches the fabric color scheme that I am going to use in my bedroom! In fact I have that aqua and red flower fabric. I can hardly wait to get started on it, but have too many other projects going on at the moment.
