I got right back to working on
ufo's again. This is a runner for my dresser that I started over a year ago. I got the center part and the end appliques finished and laid out the 3 pieces on my dresser to see how it looked. And somehow - I left it there - enjoying it in all it's unfinished glory for months -
lol.

Finally this last week I did some simple machine quilting in the center and I echo quilted around the applique with my walking foot (LOTS of turns :0)

And now it can go back on my dresser so I can enjoy it - finished!

I started with a lovely pattern by Marcie of
Patchalot Patterns. Now that I've finished my variation I want to make it again only this time make the actual pattern with all the borders and cornerstones :0)

Here it is back on my dresser. I'm sure it will do a great job of protecting the finish on the top of the dresser. At least that's what I'm going to tell my husband it's for :0)
I haven't forgotten about the giveaway. I'll get to it soon. I just have a rather busy week this week.
Happy Quilting!!

Your finihed quilt looks great! I'll bet you're happy it's finished? :)
Your quilted dresser runner is beautiful! I had never thought to make anything quilted for my dresser. Thank you for the idea!
The applique on the border really makes this a special piece.
That is really cute! Love the dresser also :)
Oooh! How pretty!
Oh Janet, it looks beautiful on your dresser!! I have a nine patch runner on the guest bedroom dresser that needs to be quilted. Maybe it will get done some day when I don't have anything to hand quilt on :0)
Crispy
It looks perfect on your dresser. Great idea!
Love the look of the runner on your dresser. I have a similiar one that I used on my dresser.
Looks so much better on your dresser than sitting in a UFO bag in the closet! Thanks for the inspiration...
Janet! How adorable that turned out! I love it as a runner! Great idea! And so much nicer finished.
What a sweet runner you made it it looks perfect on your dresser. Love how you positioned the fabric perfectly for the bird's eye.
