New table runner and progress on the "Sweetie Pie" sew along

I decided to use some of the 2,5" scraps from the fabrics I used for the "Sweetie Pie" blocks and turned them into a table runner. I used a fatquarter of the white with cherries on between the ones with happy colours. I love to do simple cross hatching on table runners using white Auriful cottong thread.


 I love how the cross hatching looks, and this also makes the quilts/table runners easy to wash and make them stay in shape so I don't need to blocking afterwards.

 I used a light gingham fabric for the binding, and love how it turned out:)

This is my scrappy table runner finished:)

My sewing room floor looks like a garden of flowers these days. Layout time for my pie blocks, trying to make them all look a little bit different than each other, so I can spread the colours/different fabrics even. 

 I've prepped two blocks and started sewing the pies to the background fabrics by hand. I love doing needleturn appliquè. Look forward to start making the center blocks in the next days, but I haven't made up my mind about using the solid fabrics or if I want to use the Sew Cherry2 fabrics. Guess I'll just make one block to see how it looks with the Sew Cherry2 fabrics before I make up my mind :)

Happy sewing,
Laila
