Once I completed the Rainbow Cubic Quilt, I had scraps left over from the strip cutting. It felt like such a waste to toss them, but I also didn’t want to pick them all apart to create something new.
I looked at the pieces and realized they create a pattern of their own. It would be just enough to make a cute table runner.
I sewed the scraps together, but had an uneven number. To keep from having any waste, I pieced them together so colors would blend together. Red with pink, blue with purple, and teal with green. It was a nice touch to create a unique pattern.
Because of the nature of the scraps, I didn’t really need to add a border to this one. Also, I was trying to keep it to the size of a table runner so no need to make it too wide for that.
I found a nice and calm backing of clouds in blues and whites. It was perfect.
I used a basic meander and was able to finish the quilting quickly. I used the same grey binding I used on the cubic quilt, and that was it! This table runner was ready for running tables.
I’m so glad I was able to use the scraps from the cubic quilt to create something new. I am also glad there was no waste. This little fabric pack was a lot of fun and I created a couple neat projects from it.
I actually think I have enough scraps left for one more project…
