I was so excited when the gals at Camelot Fabrics asked if I would make a sample of this for the booth because I loved designing the pattern (yes, free pattern right here) month's ago and it has been on my "to-do" list ever since. And of course, it got bumped up the list when it had a deadline attached ;)
The fabrics in this runner are from the Zoey Collection for Camelot Fabrics. I loved the beautiful colors and pulled from them when it came time to quilt it.
I decided to do some super fun matchstick quilting, but as a new twist I hadn't tried, I added color!! I started by randomly quilting 10-12 lines all across the runner in each of the 6-7 colors I pulled from the line. Then I went back and filled in all of the blank space with a beautiful blender. And I have to say, I am so loving how it turned out. I will be doing this again soon.
And here it is hanging in the Camelot Booth at Market. So fun!!!
And that is my Peaks and Valleys Table Runner ;) Like I mentioned, if you want to make your own runner, you can download the free pattern right here ;) And if you do make one, I would love to see it. You can email me a picture at happquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to my Flickr group here ;)
Oh, I love this! I usually quilt with white thread for simplicity's sake, but you have just sold me on trying more color quilting. Beautiful!
