My Quick Summertime Project

Nothing says summer like farm fresh produce.  As I was attempting to clean up some my fabric stash, I came across a small stack of partially used fruit and vegetable fat quarters that I had purchased years ago for a group project.  I knew they weren't anything that I would need in the future so rather than put them back, I decided to sew them up into a summertime table runner.




Very simple, just strips of fabric in varying widths.  I did piece in a strip with black in it for a bit of interest (and to use up some of the smaller scraps).



But one table runner soon turned into three!  Amazing how far you can stretch a tiny bit of fabric.
Guess a few of these will be going into my Etsy shop.  But at least the fabrics are all gone!




I even used up this old leaf print for the backs on all of them.  
Now I am off to see what else I can get off my shelf!

I have some of the same fabrics left in my stash and you've given me an idea of what to do with them.

What fun runners! They are so cheerful. You know I love little projects from scraps. :)
