Would this be perfect for February, or what!?
I finally finished it.... began 2 years ago, and never quite got the binding finished.
This one's big, it meaures 24.5 x 56 inches, and has been washed & dried for that lovely crinkly texture.
Each of those little squares was a 2 1/2 inchs block.
Back is covered in delicious strawberries, and binding coordinates perfectly with both sides. Binding has been hand-sewn to the back, so has a very pretty finish even when flipped over.
There are 4 matching hotpads. Each hotpad is about 7.25 inches square. Hotpads have a layer of Insul-Bright and a layer of cotton batting, so will keep the heat from coming through. Very helpful to keep you from getting burnt, also protects your table.
Backs of hotpads; 3 have same fabric as the binding, one has a red heart surrounded by white.
See the set here for $55.

Really pretty! I do like the backing...strawberries are always fabulous.
Very cute runner, love the wee hearts :)
nice work d
I just love this!! I think I am going to make one similar!
This is so adorable, did you use a pattern?
Nope, I make things up as I sew! :)
Hi Lisa. This table runner is adorable. Could you possibly explain how you did the heart border? I want to make this for my sister's 40th anniversary. It would be so perfect and I would be so very grateful. Thank you.
It’s perfect!! Did you use a pattern? I’m a beginner.
Hot pads gave it a special touch!!! ~Carla
Hint I learned from Mom.
Only use hot pads when using the table runner to stay looking good together!!
