I'm glad the deadline was extended for linking up our December Table Scraps Challenge entries, because mine was a Christmas gift I couldn't reveal until after the holidays. Now that it's been gifted and received, I can show you how it turned out.
I can't remember whether I saw the idea for this table runner in a previous Table Scraps Challenge link by a fellow blogger, but however it happened, I fell in love with it at first sight. There was a link to the pattern and I bought it right away. The pattern is called Novella by Sew Preeti Quilts, and you can find it HERE.
My daughter and her boyfriend have two dear cats, and I thought they might really like something like this. One Christmas gift down, check!
I pulled scraps and other fabric from my stash, and the batting was a scrap from the off-cuts of a recent quilt. I loved the pattern's original color scheme so I felt fortunate to have what I needed on hand to stay pretty close to it.
Now, do I tell you I made a little boo-boo in assembly or not? I guess I just did, but I'm not going to fess up to any more than that, because it really did not seem to matter one bit.
This makes a nice long table runner or wall hanging, however you want to use it. Before I wrapped it, I tacked it up in my kitchen for photos, and I have to say it looks pretty nice in that spot. I may have to make another for me to keep!
