Fun and Functional Fall Finishes!

I'm not sure if I thought that these table runners would take less time than I imagined, or if I just always have too ambitious of goals for the amount of sewing time that I have. Because I barely got these 2 table runners done that were my goal for September OMG.  

The piecing for this "Driving Me Batty" table runner was a little time consuming. I received this last year, however, from Fat Quarter Shop and just now got around to working on it. I really wanted to have it done for this year.

I used this Alexander Henry purple print for the backing. I was glad to finally be able to use it. My Halloween stash is not very large, but I did have a couple of older prints.

This was #2 on my list to be completed in September. I really do like how this 2nd table runner came out. I had a layer cake of Fall/Pumpkin-type fabrics and knew I wanted to sew an Autumn table runner. This was a fairly fast and easy pattern to put together. The pattern is from Table Runner Bliss

It fits perfectly on my coffee table in my living room and is already in use.

The backing that I used for this one is a vintage sunflower print. I have had this fabric in my stash for who knows how long - probably as long as I've been quilting. I'm glad I was able to make use out of it. I love sunflowers and even though it is a vintage print, I still like it.

So these are my Fun and Functional Fall Finishes and I am happy to have them done. Linking to Elm Street Quilts OMG for September
