Inspired by Deb at Happy to be Scrappy, I made scrappy nine patches, too!
Eventually, I made 9 of each block, sewed them together, and worked on some quilting. Just in time for the end of February, everything has been finished up!
Both machine and hand quilting are included in this runner. I hand quilted the hearts with no. 12 perle cotton in ecru.
This sweet pink with sparkly hearts makes a great backing and binding!
I thought this would be a Valentine tablerunner for our dining room table, but it actually fits right here:
And that's definitely prettier than the vinyl
that the piano bench is actually covered in!
Sharing at all my favorite link-ups!
that looks good right where you have it!! glad you got it finished
ReplyDeleteLooks great on that piano bench--it is so pretty--nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful Diann! I love it on the piano bench too. The hand-quilting is just a divine addition. Thank you for chasing those pesky, no, sweet squirrels and linking up with DrEAMi where we Drop Everything And Make it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice finish and you've found the perfect position to display it. Really satisfying when that happens
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish and a wonderful place to let it decorate the room.
ReplyDeleteI knew this was going to be pretty as soon as I saw what you were doing! Beautiful finish and perfect spot for it. And I really love that backing.
ReplyDeleteTechnical question: is #12 Perle cotton a DMC brand?
Gorgeous!!! Looks wonderful on the bench! The colors are so happy! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I feel like it could be carried over to Easter because of the colors! Congrats on a lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice quilt! It's so pretty and bright, and I love all your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks GREAT! I'm almost tempted to try my hand at something similar, but am reining myself in... too many other projects here already. I'll just enjoy looking at yours :)
ReplyDeleteI love little touches of quilted things around a room...looks great on the piano bench!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, I love it on the piano bench!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on discovering an alternate use for your sweet new runner, Diann!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the piano bench certainly is crying out to be dressed in your gorgeous 'runner'. Love all the sweet hearts playing with the pretty squares. This little pretty is perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect piece!! It will bring a cheer to you often.
ReplyDeleteI <3 your finish! And it really does look great on your bench. Thanks for sharing it with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThose hearts and nine patches really compliment each other. Great job on the quilting and like that you combined machine and hand.
ReplyDeleteCute little piano seat cover, you can celebrate Valentines all year long! Much nicer than vinyl.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous on your piano bench!!! If you actually leave it there, your legs won't stick to the bench in the summer!! It will be beautiful anywhere you use it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that’s perfect for the piano bench! Pretty and comfortable.
