I finally finished it!! I have to say that I really learned a lot from this tutorial--but they left out a HUGE step!!! They never said how to do the corners of the outer border!! In hindsight, I should have drawn a shape for the curvy waves to connect with--mine are wonky and variable!

But, I do like ruler work with quilting!!

Here is the finished runner on the table:

Very nicely done, Karen. And the corners are not wonky ... they're "freestyle"

So pretty and such a beautiful project for a first time technique tryout. I'm guessing you're going to have a lot of fun with this.

Love the tablecloth too, I have a real weakness for lace tablecloths of any type. Once upon a time I started a crochet cloth but got tired of it and never finished. I might have to re-think that decision after seeing yours.

Karen - I love the work you have done on the table runner. Good job. I ordered the new presser foot and rulers for my machine and at long last, finally arrived. I haven't used them yet but had to say thank you for the reference. I will keep you posted on how my skills might develop.

Thank you again.

Judy, I am so excited for you!!! Ruler work is so much fun!!! I love Patsy Thompson tutorials--and there are lots of videos on YouTube.

I can't wait to see what you create!!!
