Tumbler Table Runner

What to do with the leftover tumblers?  Use them to make a table runner! I took all my leftover tumbler blocks from my baby quilt, and pieced them into three rows. I then couldn’t resist using some of the coordinating border print to add a strip of tulips to the sides.

Aren’t the tulips darling?

I then raided my batting leftovers in true stash-busting fashion.  I used a poly batting that I’ve had sitting there for some time.  I use cotton batting 90% of the time,  so I’m not sure where this came from, but it worked!  

I do like the high-loft look that it gives. It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!  (Name that movie!)

 I used up more of that border print on the back.

There wasn’t much left after cutting out the backing and the tulip strips for the front, but I had just enough of the thin yellow strips for binding.  I had to make my strips narrower than usual (2″ strips), being careful to cut so that the black edges would be hidden in the seam allowance.  It was truly a stash busting project! 

It turned out really cute and only took me a few hours to make it all.  My fur baby photobombed this shot. I was trying to convince him to come out from the table so that I could take a picture, but clearly, I was unsuccessful! 

Happy quilting, friends!
