A Lovely Finish For June

Helix Table Runner

My June project for A Lovely year of Finishes is done!

 

I am linking up with this month's finishing party at
AYOLF June @ Fiber of All Sorts

 

Earlier this month I posted this picture of the small 

 

Helix Table Mat

 

in my  Mid-Month Progress report.

 

 

For the runner I decided to do emphasize the helix design 

by stitching long continuous curves with my walking foot. 

I used a paper template and started with the centers.

 

The I moved outward and followed the first line of stitching to the sides, including the narrow black border strips.

I used a variegated cotton thread in shades of blue/yellow/green.

 

Close up of quilting.

I added two small ellipses inside the centers of the first lines.

 

 

 

I did a self binding by folding the backing over to the front and using a  decorative stitch to secure it to the top.

 

 

My son was very happy with his birthday gift!

 

I am very happy to have my June goal done!
