Several years ago I made this table runner by my own improvisational method.
Then I made this one, same method, using a lovely group of crossweave fabric.
It was accepted for publication in a magazine, and I wrote the instructions, but the magazine ceased publication just before the issue in which my runner was to appear!
While developing the article for Crossweave Runner 1, I made Crossweave Runner 2 so I could take some process photos.
So, while cleaning the studio recently, I found two partially finished runners, the one above and the one below.
I finished these last two runners, and that’s about enough of those for now! It’s good to get even a little project finished and out of the way, especially right before the holidays when I’m thinking about gifts for folks!
Zippy Quilts 
Oh Zippy, how your projects always make my (he)art sing! The color palette, design and quilting on these are wonderful.
All the best in your holiday quilt-gifting!
Thanks, Laura 🙂
You are an improv genius! There will be some lucky folks who receive these as gifts.
Thank you. These were fun.
Rotten timing on the magazine article! Are you free to submit it elsewhere ?
Yes, I could submit elsewhere, but I’m pretty much over it. Stuff happens!
They are so striking. What a good thing you found and finished those runners
It was odd to find a project I had completely forgotten, but at least it was mostly done.
I love these. Very interesting patterns. And cool that it’s an improv technique. The results are so polished!
Thank you! And thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂
These are fantastic!
Thanks!
