A new found confidence!

I finished quilting and binding my first table runner and am quite pleased with it.  I know the quilting is far from perfect but it has given me the confidence to keep trying and improve my skills.  I have so many tops completed but I don't want to bite off a huge challenge yet so I have decided to make a few more table runners.  This will give me some more much needed practice and allow me to try different designs.

I am a huge blog reader and have listened to the suggestion of many to draw designs over and over for practice.  I have to admit that they are right.  As much as I have a picture of what I want in my head it somehow just doesn't translate onto the paper.  So I shall continue to practice.  I have seen some beautiful swirl designs done by Angela Walters and Judi Madsen whose work I admire so much.

So here is the latest table runner top that I have completed.  Unfortunately I don't have the grey coloured thread that I want to use and won't be able to start quilting until I make a trip to the LQS for the thread.  I am thinking a swirl design will take the edge off the sharp design of this top so that my current plan for how I will finish this....until I change my mind that is!
