Goal Accomplished!!!!!

Thank you so much for all your nice comments about my table runner. Well I thought I would show you a picture of what “step-sewing” looks like. This is a procedure called Seminole Piecing. You sew the segments by off-setting rows by dropping color #1 face down on top of color #2, right sides together. You continue to sew all eleven segments into a staircase.

Then you go on to the step where you sew segment #1 to segment #11. Hope that helps.
Well, I did it, my goal for the weekend; put on the borders, layer, mark, and pin the table runner.

It is 6:30 PM Sunday and I am ready to begin the fun part, the hand quilting. I hope to show you the finished product in a month.
PS Don’t forget about my birthday giveaway, you still have time to enter! Stay Safe and Dry!!

    Hey this is great! Fun pattern too! We have a similar post. Did you see my Holiday Table Runner post? It's funny how we can live states away and have similar interests and post.

    It's fun to come visit your site. I'm in the Cottage Block exchange with you and look forward to all the new friends and quilter buddies.
