I was struck with a new idea during yesterday..... which resulted in a quick - so I thought , table runner Here are some pics of what is done so far. The top is all together, with lots of room for me to quilt.
I designed this patten to go on a 12" block In the right hand corner is the original 1/8th of the design which I repeated around the 12" square. I have drawn the three central white blocks with the design.
I have freezer paper ironed to the back of the quilt so it will be firm as I draw.
Freezer paper design ironed to the reverse of the block #1 andf ready to come off.
On the light box positioning it ready to draw on the fabric for Block #2
And my todays inspiration - a small flower using turned edge appliqe.... (which I still have to machine down) I have put one of these each end of the runner. It took me most of the day...and evening..
I havnt drawn on the rest as that other lovely space is for FMQ .
Now I have just to sandwich it together ....and quilt it. Maybe another UFO as I dont think it will get done soon. But I would love to get it done ....sigh
I have presents to wrap and shops to go to.
Its nearly 2am and I need sleep again to refresh for tomorrow.

Hi Joan! your quilting is stunning! I look forward to visiting again.
Beautiful... I can't wait to see what you do!
I love this one! I want to see it done! Thank you for sharing your process.
It is going to be beautiful! I never think to mark the quilting lines before I sandwich the quilt together - the freezer paper is a great idea. Thanks!♥
It's going to be great. I live Christmas, but the stress and pressure are not something I'd want to live with all year!
Another beautiful design!! You may not get it done, but you did get the right thing to strike when the inspiration hits :0)
