Table Runner - First Quilting and Binding!

So it's been almost 3 months... I'm just slack. But I'm posting daily over on my personal blog! Anyway, this table runner is a present for a relative who reads my blog, is on Facebook, etc. So I want to share it now with some people, but have to do so secretly here *wink*

This was the first time I actually properly quilted... wasn't too bad a job! But don't look too closely, those fussy about straight lines and no puckering on the back. It also revealed how off some of my piecing was... Oops. Oh well, live and learn! And in such bright colours, you don't really notice unless you know what you're looking for. The fabric is Bloom by Moda (I think... I lost the card for it!), nd the backing and binding is from Spotlight.

I quilted around the inside edge of the pieced border, then around the triangles, then around the inside rectangle.

Fourth time lucky, I finally got this right! First time, I sewed the ribbons the wrong way - instead of sewing them on the Right side, facing in from the edge, they hung out over the edge. I tried 2 different ways to make it work... nup. So, I cut them off, sewed them on to another piece of fabric the RIGHT way around, and yay! It worked!

It's had a lot of use already!
