Brynwood Nantucket Table Runner - Front

Time to share my completed table runner. I'm happy with how If turned out. It finished at 16" wide x 64" long.

Brynwood Nantucket Table Runner - Reverse

I was such a smarty pants that I thought I didn't need to read all the pattern instructions. I was wrong. By the time I figured it out, I had two completed blocks that were wrong. Note that there was no green or black anywhere on these blocks.

I started frogging my stitches, but ended up thinking I can cut and resew faster, so I set those blocks aside and recut the lighter colored fabrics. In no time I had all the blocks sewn for the front, and would have chosen a whole cloth backing...until MA (Magpie Mumblings) suggested I make the runner reversible.

I grabbed the blocks I'd set aside, made two more, and sewed them together for the back. Once I added the batting, I quilted the front, batting, and back together  I added the binding, and by 11pm Thursday night, I placed the last stitch in the binding to complete my table runner.

It appears schedules prohibit us getting together with the Birthday Girl, so I've boxed it up and will mail it off.

Today is Craft Day, so I'm in Portage this morning. I have no idea what we're making today, but I'll have photos to share on Monday. Gotta run. See you later!

    hah - I'm full of ideas - some of which are totally useless but there's the odd one that works. The runner turned out beautifully. Too bad you can't get together in person but I know she'll be thrilled to receive it in the mail.

      Hi MA-
      Thank you for the idea. It really worked out because of my mistake. I'm glad I could use the extra blocks, rather than just tossing them off to the side until heavens knows when. I'm trying one more time to see if we can wedge a visit in this week. We'll see.

    She is going to love this.
    I've always made my runners reversible.
    I've done a few with Spring on one side and Summer on the other, Thanksgiving/Christmas.
    I just make it up as I go along.
    It's always fun to see what craft day brings.
