coffee table cover up

I finished my cover-it-up coffee table runner.

I even fussy cut a little birdie for one of the stars :0)

I did very simple machine quilting. The more hand quilting I do the less I like my machine quilting!! Oh well, I can't hand quilt everything and this quilt will get used hard in its spot on the coffee table.

I love the intense fall colors of this little quilt. As you can see we don't have a lot left outside anymore...

It almost completely covers the top of the table, the worn spots are well hidden and the drawers on the front are easily accessible. Done!

Happy Quilting!!

Robin said...: This quilt initially looks simple but there is a lot going on. I love the reds you chose for the border and the black background. There is a bunch of movement in the center part and then your eye can relax as it absorbs the border one block at a time.; October 24, 2013 at 10:49 AM

What a clever way to cover the table top.
