20 x 72
I had a customer request a bargello table runner and 6 place mats the other day. She wanted a 6 foot long runner. I didn't realize how big this runner was going to be until I started making it! It is so big it doesn't fit very well on my 8 person table. I changed up my regular bargello pattern to give it some more curve since it was only 20" wide.
The place mats are 12" x 16".Originally she wanted bargello mats too, but decided it would be too busy on her table. So we went with a simple stripe pattern instead. I added in a few extra fabrics so each mat would have less colors but more shades. The binding on every thing is a gray solid, even though it looks a bit blue in these photos. I quilted everything with a gray thread in a meander to tie it all together.
Linking with Busy Hands Quilts.
The runner is beautiful but yes indeed a long one! Last year a friend wanted a long one like this but so skinny at 14" I think or maybe it was 12. Anyways I talked her into 2 separate ones and then placing an arrangement in between. She was happy in the end.
