Ta da. My Acorn Love table runner is finished! I did end up making my version smaller than the pattern. I used sixteen acorn blocks for my runner. It is going to be a perfect size for my dining room table. I love the colors in Corey Yoder's "Cozy Up" fabric collection. This is a brand new collection and is widely available. I bought a layer cake to make my runner. I recommend the pattern. Super easy to follow and such a cute finish.
I just sent a number of table-toppers off to my quilter last week. I am tempted to just send this one off to her solo, because I sure would love to have it sooner than later. If I get it back before Thanksgiving I could still use it this season. Otherwise, it won't be enjoyed until next year. And it's so cute! I thought about quilting it myself, but no. Just no.
I heard from a couple of you that you were making projects with this Cozy Up collection, which is so adorable. It has four or five gigantic gingham check prints which I did not use in my project, but are so darn cute. Ellen in Oregon said she made the exact same project as me: Acorn Love with Cory Yoder's "Cozy Up"! How fun is that? Great minds think alike.
Hope your week is going great. Eva and I are going to make scones today. She has declared now the weather is fall-like enough to have a tea party. I think she's right.
Love, love this pattern and fabric collection. I really like the blue & gray used with the other fall colors. Looks like the cutting of the fabric may be the most time consuming part. I hope this sees your table yet this fall.

Love the fabric and the pattern! I hope you can get it done in time to enjoy. Last year I was making a Halloween lap quilt and ended up throwing the top over the couch because I ran out of time! I'm finishing the quilting now so it will be done in time this year!

Those acorns are pretty cute! You could pop that runner & backing into a USPS flat rate envelope. It would probably be able to catch a ride home with the others when they're all finished. A tea party sounds like a great way to end the school day! Enjoy!

That really is cute, Nicole. A perfect marriage of fabric and pattern. I agree with Jan - send it off! I'd love for you to be able to use it right away.
