This is a long runner and will be a good size for my dining table 

at home. Here it is on my daughter's table for four

 in her bright dining nook. 

It is a two sided table runner.

For the backing I cut This Panel from the

Home Collection by Kathy Schmitz for Moda Fabrics.
This Home Jelly Roll may be found here

For the background I chose this speckled
Creamy Rice Paper for the Home Collection

I used a half yard of This Fabric to complete the back of the quilt.

Photos do not do this fabric justice.

This color is so warm that it glows golden.

This fabric is not metallic,

though it almost looks it.

For my quilting thread I chose King Tut "Sahara Shadows"
which is a lovely variegated thread that is shades or brown to gold.
I have had this large spool for a few years and have used it on a few other projects.

For  quilting the center of the heart blocks,

I used freezer paper templates.

I cut one large one and stitched around it on all four heart blocks and then I cut it down three times to make the graduated hearts.

When using these templates I press them onto the fabric with a medium heat for a temporary hold.

My binding fabric is a half yard of this wonderful
Slate Column from the Home Collection

I stitch around the motif, 

not on the paper.

For the border I did straight line stitching with my 

walking foot.

I love this limited neutral palette.

which is far from my usual fabric choices.

I have a lot of jelly roll and am planning to make

a throw quilt to match my table runner .

Thanks for visiting me today.

I hope you enjoy making your own

Jelly Glazed Hearts quilt.
