Squirrelly Girl Table Runner Quilted

This is the second table runner I recently received back from my quilter. I used a fabric line by Bunny Hill for Moda. It is so gosh darn cute! For the runner itself, I think I just had a honey bun of 1 1/2" strips.  Sure wish I had bought more of that fabric collection. It just goes to show you, when you see a collection that has a lot of a color that you use frequently, buy more. That soft orange would go in so many things that I make.

Here is a photo of the backing, where you can see the primary print of the little hat-wearing squirrel. When I bought the backing it was just about all I could find of the collection anywhere. 

I didn't have enough of any of the Squirrelly Girl fabric for my border but found something in my stash that I think worked great. I've had it for years and can't recall who designed it, unfortunately. I did not use a pattern, just made Log Cabin blocks and arranged them the way you see. If it looks familiar, I made a Halloween quilt a year or so ago that is rather similar. 

My baby blocks are nearly complete for the Family Reunion quilt I have been working on. Just six more to go! That is my plan for the weekend, along with sorting out my clothes closet. 

Forgive me while I play around with my blog banner. I wanted to have something seasonal, but it is a fiddly business. 

Best wishes for a lovely weekend to all of you!

I’ve really enjoyed your changing banners. The quilts are beautiful and fun. It has helped remind me to change out my quilts at home.

You had me fooled! I didn't even consider that the border was from a different fabric line! It all goes together great! That little squirrel is adorable & I understand why the fabric became difficult to find! Have a great weekend!

Love the table runner! Very cute as is your banner! The border fabric is from Kate and Birdie called Autumn Woods. It goes perfectly! Isn’t it great when you can use pieces from your stash. Have a great weekend sewing 🧵!

I remember when you were making this...I loved it so much I tried to get some of that squirrel fabric. I couldn't get what I wanted ANYWHERE online. :(

Oh, well. I did buy the applique pattern she was selling at the time. I can't wait to make it after I finish the 3 other applique patterns I'm working on! ;p

Have a lovely peaceful weekend and enjoy Eva's company.

Love that runner. And it reminds me that I have a honeybun somewhere from a wallhanging I made last year. Gotta find that too and put it up!

The squirrel’s hats are acorn caps…. Too cute!

Love your runner and that fabric line!
