We promised Simon's mother a table runner. For her birthday. Last year. In July!
Luckily she's very understanding! The delay was caused mostly by competing priorities, but I also had trouble coming up with a design I was happy with. I knew what colours I needed, and wanted to use one of my favourite fabrics, this hyakryoran ombre (the bottom of the two blogged
here). 
And here it is:
I'm really pleased with it. It uses the unmodified palm block, and the hardest part was cutting the ombre to get a good colour gradation.
At least she'll get it before her next birthday!

Emma,
ReplyDeleteThe runner is fabulous! I went back in your blog to see other posts about this fabric - you create lovely quilts.
That fabric is so unique - would you share where it is from?
thanks,
Jo
LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do it again - use the one word that I always use when I see your quilts - STUNNING! I love the ombre graduation, it really sets off the palm blocks. Oh and you must be a better Mum than me - I just deleted all of Austy's photography :blush:... How clever of James to steady the camera by the floor.
ReplyDeleteLove the ombre gradation - very clever! I'm sure your MIL will think it's worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the table runner Emma! What a perfect use of an ombred fabric. Your MIL is a lucky lady!
