After finishing the Evergreen Flurry Table Runner, I was anxious to start on the next Christmas present,
which was for my grandmother. I knew I wanted to use the poinsettia/bird
fabric, as my grandma likes poinsettias and birds remind her of my late grandfather.
With this table runner, I learned
that this pattern (Box Lunch Table Runner from On a Roll Again) works best with a variety of
fabrics. I spent a lot of time rearranging the blocks because they were too
similar for the design I had envisioned. One evening, late at night, I threw up
my hands in frustration and went with a different arrangement altogether. The next
morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really liked the end result.
Luckily, my grandmother did, too.
Peppermint Flurry was started and
completed in November 2011.
It's beautiful! I love the 'flurry' of colors and designs!
