Braided table runner

Back in 2017, I won a Morris Earthly Paradise jelly roll from: Barbara of Civil War Quilts Blog. Last year, I completed a rail fence quilt with most of the strips. Most of the rest were sewn into this braided table runner. Is that the same as herringbone pattern? Yes, it was a UFO for a long time. These fabrics are definitely some of the most gorgeous ever aren't they? They are reproduction fabrics reminiscent of the 1874-1910 Art Nouveau era. Here are this table runner's stats:

♦ dimensions: 13 1/2" X 45"

♦ fabrics: Morris Earthly Paradise by Barbara Brackman for Moda Fabrics

♦ backing: pieced- grey with black floral print, and some Earthly Paradise jelly roll strips

♦ batting: Quilter's Dream Wool™ (won from Hands 2 Help 2019 Challenge!)

♦ quilting: machine-stitched free-motion, meandering design

♦ binding: solid navy, sewn by machine and hand

♥ Completed WIP/UFO quilts in 2019: 12 ♥

This is so pretty, Danice! This pattern was a perfect choice for the remaining jelly roll strips. Yes, I agree that the fabrics are gorgeous!

That's a pretty runner that will blend well in several settings! Doesn't it feel good to finish up a UFO? I'm working on one this week as well!
