A tiny green finish

This week I finished up the fourth block in the Heartspun Quilts' Safekeeping Sew Along.  It's the bottom left block, called Cake Stand.  This was a fun one to make!


These came together with a little bit of sashing and some binding to make this sweet tiny tablerunner.

It measures 4.5 x 19.

There was just enough of the green floral left for the binding.

I wish I had more of this favorite print!

I found the perfect spot for my tiny tablerunner!


Meanwhile, I made some progress on my Zigzag quilt top by using the HSTs for leaders and enders in between other projects.


So there are four rows finished for this Rainbow Scrap Challenge project!  They each measure 8.5 x 49.

I think four more rows - red, yellow, pink, and purple - will make a nice size lap quilt!

    What a cute table runner. The American Jane fabric is sweet and the perfect choice for the border. I'm really loving the Zig Zag project, of course. You've got a wonderful collection of neutrals to set off the colors!

    You did find the perfect spot for you new little runner. I am really really liking your zig zags. If you have said I can't remember what size HST's are you making?

    How adorable is that runner! I am thinking I need to do another mini with some orphan blocks I have laying around. Or maybe a topper in a 2x2 layout. Must consider that plan.

    Lovely little green blocks! A good idea to make a table runner. I am in love with your zigzag quilt! I really need to add that one to my to-do list! Are the HST , 4.5” unfinished?

    I love your tiny runner. It’s so cute and such a great idea! Those zig-zag rows look so neat (both meanings of the word) and crisp. It will be a lovely quilt.

    Your zig zag is coming along very nicely. I made one last year, well not into a top yet, lol, but my backgrounds are gray. Your scrappy backgrounds are so lively and bright.

    I love how you angled the little runner! I never would have thought of making a runner that is only 4.5", but what a great way to add some interest and color! And of course...that zig zag quilt is coming along beautifully and will be gorgeous with the other colors added!

    I love your mini table runner. Its adorable! Congrats! There's always one fabric we are sorry to see all used up. Your green one is a great print. I understand why it is a favourite. ;^)

    I love both your table runner and your zigzag top -- very different, but both fabulous! Also, I found you some MORE of that green floral fabric just now on Etsy, so if you really do want some more of it, you can get some right here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/688232587/moda-merry-go-round-21723-15-green?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_c-craft_supplies_and_tools-fabric_and_notions-fabric&utm_custom1=53c12c33-a56d-4f29-91f6-8de16758e1f4&utm_content=go_2063557858_76452864655_367965824850_aud-459688892115:pla-295916403786_c__688232587&utm_custom2=2063557858&gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ij2BRBdEiwA0Frc9aOipk2eMAQ0DVK4rycqPH1_9WdhHIecS6M5HQAOjep_ArrSffzEjxoCHv4QAvD_BwE

    Don't know if the link will work through the comments, but if it doesn't, all I did was go to Etsy and search with the keywords "MODA MERRY GO ROUND AMERICAN JANE GREEN FLORAL." I know what it's like to use up the last bit of a favorite fabric and wish you'd bought more of it when it was available!

    Love that tiny tablerunner. These small projects do help me when I lose motivation on bigger quilts. There is always a place around the house that needs a runner.

    You have some lovely projects on the go (love the red blocks from previous post) that's a nice finish on your mini table runner

    That is one tiny runner but it really looks cute on the chest. I really like your ZigZag quilt. It is so bright and spring-y.

    That table runner is adorable. I'm not really into table runners for myself, but in this size, you could change my mind!

    Oh what a sweet little runner! I should make one for my island. Haven't wanted to cover up my husband's lovely work in crafting the top for it, so I've not put any of my tabletoppers/runners on it (now THAT's restratin) but one this size might be in order! Love the greens. And the RSC zigzag quilt!!! Where has it been all my life? You make the best things, Diann. Thank you for celebrating squirrel-chasing at DrEAMi!
