Crossroads Tablerunner No 2

On Wednesday this selection of fabrics arrived from Quilters Anonymous. Starting from the left, the first three are Allspice Tapestry by Figtree Quilts, the next two are from Minnick and Simpsons Winter range, then we have a red ticking and finally a cream print which is from the Hemming House range by Brannock and Patek.


I needed the cream print for the posts of this tablerunner I am making from a Hemming House charm pack. I also plan to use it for the backing and binding.



The pattern is by Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures's and is called Crossroads Tablerunner. (I have recently discovered that Heather has a lovely blog called Trends and Traditions. She is also featured in the October 2008 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting.) This is the second tablerunner I have made from this pattern.



Please excuse the hideous ironing board cover!



It is a very easy pattern and goes together really quickly. I was rather pleased that I was able to get most of the intersections close to perfect.
