I have one backing but wanted to quilt 2 table runners at the same time. It took a few attempts to get everything set up properly. I left 4 inches in the middle between the runners. There's plenty of space on the backing on the outer sides of the runners. I loaded the same as I would any quilt. I pinned the bottom edge to the leaders but each table runner was pinned as a separate quilt.
I'm quilting each runner exactly the same. I thought ribbon candy would look good in the borders. Each of the triangles has arcs quilted on each side. The flying geese has 3 echoed arcs per short side. The longer piece made by the flying geese and triangle just has lines following the shape of the that piece. I was hoping it would convey some movement. Anyways, now that all the quilting has been decided, I just have to repeat these motifs until the runners are done. I like it and will work on it a little bit at a time. It shouldn't take too long since these table runners aren't too big. I'm using a very light grey Aurifil thread.
Oh that will be so pretty with the gray quilting thread, I think.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you are able to do both at the same time...hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! I'm trying to make the best of my time!
DeleteVery efficient process, Rosemary. Your quilting is always so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanna! It's always a difficult decision to choose what I'm going to quilt. I'm glad that part's over for these runners.
