Fall Table Runner

Our new place is almost twice as many square feet as our apartment in LA so I am a little intimidated by decorating for the holidays. The dining room table was looking particularly bare so I thought I'd take a break from the queen sized quilt I have been working on and make a table runner.

I saw this block when I was looking through 500 Quilt Blocks (which is a fabulous book), it's called the Cheyenne block. I used a variety of oranges, browns, reds, and yellows, including a couple of Juliana Horner prints from Joann's. I REALLY love that collection.

It has been a while since I did any free motion quilting and it was a little rough. I am a lot rustier than I expected to be! Just don't look too closely.

Now this can decorate our dining room table for 2 more weeks when it is time to decorate for another holiday.

Pattern: The Cheyenne Block from 500 Quilt Blocks

Batting: Quilter's Dream Cotton Select

Fabrics: A variety of prints including Denyse Schmidt, Juliana Horner, Lizzy House, and others

Fabaroony. Great autumn colours.

Love the colors, and I think the quilting looks nice. I think the colors are modern 80s style (not sure why)

It's perfect for fall! And it may be only 2 weeks this year, but it'll be all ready for next year, and the next...

I want you to help me make one of these. Can I come over or can you come here? Maybe during Christmas break? I'll treat you to Cafe Rio. I'll pay for a pedicure. Name your price.

So beautiful! The quilting really sets off the blocks :)

Lovely table runner Erica - very autumnal but not too themey. The colours are perfect and your FMQ is not too shabby - I think the orange peel motif was a great choice.
DebbieNovember 15, 2013 at 10:42 PM
It's lovely! Really nice fabric choices!

Pretty!!! Seriously the nicest fall quilty thing I've seen this year! Side note…how do you keep the grooves in your table so clean? We only have 4 grooves and it feels like a constant battle. :/
SoniaNovember 17, 2013 at 12:54 PM
Its lovely - the colours are just perfect for fall! And I love the circular quilting you did x
soniaNovember 17, 2013 at 2:27 PM
Love the colours and quilting!
KatNovember 18, 2013 at 9:27 PM
Very nice! The quilting really adds to the pattern.

That's a great mix of fabrics! I feel your pain on decorating for Thanksgiving. My heart moves on to Christmas before Thanksgiving even arrives!
Heidi StaplesNovember 20, 2013 at 4:37 PM
Erica, I just love this!! Your fabric/color mix is fantastic!
SarahNovember 20, 2013 at 10:55 PM
Love the block pattern. I must try to fmq some orange peels like that one day. I haven't tried that pattern yet.
