A Simply Original Skinny Quilt
Psst: Look for my Skinny Quilt segment for Quilting Arts TV will appear in series 3100 in 2024 on your local PBS station!
Turn over a new leaf! "Grow" your design skills, and create an original table runner customized for a particular place in your home. Take inspiration from the design at left, which I made for my book, Skinny Quilts & Table Runner, or the chili pepper motif, below (directions for that on at my free & fun link). For your table runner, door or wall hanging, one large, single motif makes things especially easy. I'll guide you to design and choose fabrics for a graceful, freehand, fusible appliqué of your own. You don't have to, but IF you choose to use felt as a background, backing, and in place of batting, you'll discover several fast and fun ways to finish your piece in short order.
Your color palette, your decor, your size project, and your style!
