Hello Cuties, I hope I'm not boring you, but I wanted to try a runner the Bargello way. I have to back it, quilt it and bind it UNLESS I keep it for myself, then it needs to be 3 times longer....it came out about 16 3/4 inch x 37

Hope you like it-Have a great day, Toogie

ps. I included this photo only to say I wish every week was this productive! 30 items (12 are ITH coasters)

Not boring, on the contrary! Very inspiring. You are a busy woman. I hope that I can get back to my machine very soon. Working a job is fun, too but not like sewing, for me at least.

I'm am sure you are fine anywhere you are, work or home. I was thinking of you and your family and son just the other day, wondering how he is or all of you, really.....We are good. We're getting two new great-grand babies next year, a boy and a girl. Avery is growing and Nora too. Her feet seem too big for her-lol Gus hasn't been to ER since before his parents Colorado trip...let's keep our fingers crossed as his cousin, same age as him (2 years old) is staying all next week with them, while Jake's parents and older siblings go on a cruise. Hope those two together don't mean an ER visit!-lol

Thank you very much. This was my first bargello but yes it was fun. My SIL says it looks pretty but too many stitches-lol-he doesn't sew, so what's he worried about!-lol

LOL! Those who don't make don't understand. My husband is always critical of quilts or projects I am doing and more so of those that I quilt for others!!! Glad you had fun. That bargello pattern is also gorgeous done in the colors of a sunset.....

I'm not sure if I have enough fabric to extend it- I may see.. Thanks you for your kindness

That's a nice collection of projects. I don't often see black used in Christmas fabric, but I really like it. It defines the bargello style. I can't quite see what the three little circle button like things at the bottom are. They are interesting to me

The black fabric has white ice skates on it and the buttons are actually coasters!😂😂😂

Wow you have been busy. What a wonderful collection. I think you should reward yourself and keep the runner.

lol- this will be a gift I give to someone I know, if I don't keep it for myself. Either way, not a bus gift.

Toogie, you should just keep it for yourself - we are all bad for not doing for ourselves!

I certainly would be tempted to keep it for myself! This is so pretty and I love the fabric you used! Hugs, Deb

Deb, I really think anyone can do this because I started with the fabrics I used in the mat the other day. Then I remembered they said use 9 so I had to get out some more. With very little thought of placing my strips I managed this. However, I did have a lot of reds so I had to separate them with another strip. I think I succeeded because I pulled out of my drawer the white with red polka dots and made that my center.
