Remember when I became an Island Batik ambassador again for 2019 and they’ve partnered with Accuquilt and then I got to pick my own dies!?
One die was Local Color and it’s a fun die!!
I had a few black and grey FQs and cut out pieces for a table runner and the top and bottom white and set to work
I planned the layout first
Accuquilt dies have little notches on the curved part on both pieces of fabric, just like garment sewing where you have to mark a mid point or matching point, so it’s very easy match up, but I still pin it a lot and at the ends I add a pin going sideways so the corners stay at 90 degrees.
and before long the blocks are done and sewn together into a top, then I added a black inner border and a white outer border
I quilted it with a variegated thread that went from black to white and added grey binding.
It measures 18″ x 30″
I have it listed in my etsy store here
a fun table topper to make with a fun die!!
When I first saw the die, I couldn't see how it would make circles. Now it makes sense to me. And of course, now I think I want that die too. I learned that corner pinning trick in an online class by Toby Lischko.
When I looked at your die, I couldn't figure out how you'd use the top and bottom pieces. Nice table runner. I haven't worked with curves in over a decade.
Very interesting table runner. Love the colors you selected. Looks like a super fun die.
