Judy asked if we made any progress on our March UFOs. I'm pleased to report I actually finished mine, which were these two tablerunners:
Baby Boxes, and...
...Party Time. This is the fourth tablerunner I have made from this book:
Heather Mulder Peterson's On the Run. She's done a lot of pattern books built around precuts but gives general cutting directions so you can use scraps or other yardage. I really like the strong diagonal lines in many of her designs. Check out the Inspiration page on the website for some of the beautiful projects in her books: http://www.ankastreasures.com/
I made this one, called Sweet Escape, last year to give to the caterer for my daughter's wedding. I pulled the blue and pink charms from a pack of Boutique; the Party Time runner has the other colors from the same charm pack.
This one, Fresh Blossoms, was a blogversary giveaway prize in 2011. Since I'm giving the Party Time runner to my mother, only one of the four actually will stay here. Seems I need to make a couple more from the book!

Oh so pretty. I actually like Party Time the best. Your quilting looks great too.
I can't choose a favorite. I like them all. They do have great graphic appeal! And I am impressed with your quilting!
I have one of Heather's books.....must get it out! LOL
You're right about those strong diagonal lines. Striking. Job well done on excellent finishing up! *karendianne.
