I have really enjoyed making table runners for the holidays. I bought some floral and pastel fabrics initially for Easter, but then I found some Easter fabric that I loved even more. Thus I decided to make a spring table runner for use before it is appropriate to put out Easter decorations. I made two: one for the dining room table and one for the buffet. For the buffet I stuck with the pattern I have used before of just cutting strips and sewing them together. For the table, I made a basket weave type pattern. I wanted to have bigger pieces of some of the beautiful floral fabrics to use as field type fabric. I then cut strips to form a simple basket weave around the fields. Fairly easy, and now I can start to welcome spring.
