When Carol at Just Let me quilt announced this blog hop, I jumped right on it!
I knew I wanted to make something from one of my own patterns and something with “Squares” obviously and then I figured “small” as I was in the middle of mask making, so just in case I wouldn’t have time to finish, a small commitment would be easier to finish in time, also I’m REALLY REALLY low on yardage for making backings from.
I decided on my “Boxed in” pattern and found 3 FQs to use and set to work
I must not have paid attention but I didn’t flip the colors in the small section of the block, I decided to NOT rip them out but just continue.
I added a white inner border and corner border squares
The runner measures 15″ x 29″
I quilted it using a design called “diamonds”
I used two FQs for the backing too
for some reason the whole thing is not laying flat, maybe I can press it into submission. LOL.

Thanks again to Carol for hosting, blog hops are always fun and inspirational!
Such a cute table runner in black and white, Bea! Great that you used FQs for the backings, also.
Very pretty runner! I love the black and white theme.
The colors made this look so different than the full size boxed in. I wouldn’t have even guessed they were the same pattern.
thanks! that’s always the fun part with trying a pattern again
Beautiful! Black and white quilted items look sew lovely!
Black and white is always classy looking.
Wonderful version of this Boxed In pattern. Your fabric choices give it a new look. Thank you for sharing … 🙂 Pat
Oh how fun! I hate it when things aren’t flat. Maybe some steam will beat it into submission! hahaha
Pretty ‘Boxed In’ quilt, good color combination.
Your little table runner worked SEW perfectly for the Hop! Sorry about the wave. I’ve been having a bit of trouble with that issue lately, too. :o((
The black and beige are so pretty in this runner and I love all the square combos in it. Great job being cool and square! Thanks for hopping with us!
Hello Bea! I love your boxed in pattern and brown quilt so much! I am also a huge fan of black and white quilts! I love seeing the pattern made into two very different projects.
these both came out lovely. thanks or sharing
Frustrating to do all that work and not have it lie flat – I wonder, too, what went wrong. Good luck with the pressing. 🙂 Squaresville..you’d fit right in; it’s a great quilt pattern.
Hi Bea. What an elegant B&W runner. I think we all are sharing the same mindset because the name of your project is similar to mine for the Hop. Must be the effect of Covid Brain and mask making! 😷 Carol
The black and white squares tablerunner is terrific. I love that you had a pattern called squares to use…hooray for you!
This is a great modern table runner. Love the design. The black and white fabric really makes the design stand out. Great job!
aww thanks, I think it needs more contrast, but it’s fine 🙂
What a lovely black and white runner. And I love back sides like that.
Black and white are always a winning combination. Lovely runner. Well done.
I either go over the top with color or love a good black and white. Very cute.
Very elegant looking!
Love the colorway. Great block choice.
I like the table runner, but really love the quilt. That pattern is so fun and looks really stunning. I can see myself making that quilt. Just lovely Bea.
Bea, that’s a really great table runner! Thanks for sharing!
Great table runner!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful table runner!
Black and white always looks wonderful. I’m not a sane quilter per se, but I wonder if you could damp stretch to help with the laying flat? Just pin it out and then evenly moisten it and let it dry before removing the pins. That’s what we do with embroidered pieces that get out of sync with the stitching process.
I have it on the shelf between other quilts now, so I think it’ll get pressed into submission 😉
Nice table runner. Love the colors.
