FO Friday

 One completed Fall table runner!  72" long20" wide  Keepsake Quilting Medley
 I used my new sewing machine finished binding-hand sewing is now a thing of the past!  Very grateful I found a way that is neat and professional on the machine!
 And I made the other two blocks I needed for the basket quilt top-I am so much happier with this arrangement!  Worth the extra days of work!  This is an Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day quilt so I used her method of applique which is better than needle turning each piece but is still a bit slower than piecing each block!  I am excited about sewing all the blocks together now!  Next week....
 I added tulips and
 canterbury bells to the quilt.
Bill has filled the trailer  and the truck and we are ready for a day of sales tomorrow!

    Lovely table runner. I'm glad you found a way of doing the binding that works for you.

    You're making good progress with the basket quilt.

    Enjoy the yard sales! Try not to bring too much home! LOL

    Love the runner! Machine binding? No way....really?
    That basket quilt top is a real masterpiece. I can't wait to see how you finish it.

    Quilts look great! The extra row of baskets was a good call.
