Table Runner: Orange Flowers with Blue Orange Peel

Hello Sunshine! I had cut out blocks to make this table runner a couple of years ago. The plan was to have this to work on at my appliqué group. Then of course Covid put a stop to us meeting. We haven't met together for over 2 years now. I finished this runner in January, so it has taken me a while to even share this with you.

I took the appliqué flowers from a quilt pattern I had (don't ask me what pattern because I don't know what I did with it) and I added some Orange Peel blocks in between the flowers. Ironic that the orange peel blocks are in blue, lol!

That orange and yellow flower fabric came from my mom's quilt shop from the mid 1970's. My sister gave me that fabric just a few years ago after mom passed away. I had the same fabric in a blue colorway. I guess mom must have given us each some fabrics from her shop after she closed it. My sister never made quilts, but did sew clothing.

Not having a table to take photos on makes photographing things like this rather challenging. We have a small round table, 50's style with a red top, so I have to try different photo angles outside. I think you get the idea.

Halloween Table Runner Pieced & Applique

I made this Halloween Table Runner with the haunted house on each end. It's from Shabby Fabrics. I used just squares in the center of mine, so I had to adjust the cutting sizes a bit. These applique pieces are rather small and there is a lot of stitching around the fencing! But I really love how it looks. Too bad I have a round table. But lucky for one of you because if you want to purchase this runner, scroll to the bottom of this post to buy it from my PayHip Shop. 

I won't be making another one of these table runners as the applique was way too time consuming and I had to repeat it all twice, since there is the Haunted House scene at both ends.

The runner measures 12 1/2" wide x 38 1/4" long.

A haunted house, moon, bats, a ghost, Jack O Lantern, spider webs, a tree, falling leaves and a picket fence is a perfect looking Halloween setting.

The center is made of squares in 4 fabric colors.

The back of the quilt is a gray print fabric.
