I previously made several Mardi Gras table runners using simple strips. These were really easy and a fun way to show off the wonderful fabrics I found. While shopping for Mardi Gras fabrics, I also found a pattern for a fun table runner or wall hanging using appliqués. It features king cake pieces, crowns, and plastic babies, so it is perfect. It was relatively easy, but with so many squares to put together, it is clear that my sewing still needs to improve as not all the corners met. Oh well, I will keep practicing. The pattern also called for prairie points, which I have never made before. I like the way they came out, and for the appropriate piece, they can be perfect like for this table runner.
