Windmills in Sugarcreek

With all the pressing deadlines behind me, I was at a loss for something to work on - NOT!  The minute I saw this Sugar Creek (by Corey Yoder for Moda) charm pack I knew I would have to make a new sample for my Windmills Table runner pattern.  Even though I have a bunch of other charm packs I could use, I just loved the colors in this one, so it had to be done!

Luckily table runners are quick projects, so I was able to piece my top in one afternoon, then finish it the next afternoon.  It's so fun to have a quick finish like this!  I was able to find a scrap piece of batting that was just the right size, barely!

I like to quilt this design by stitching straight lines in the border squares, and swirls in the windmills and background.  I got interrupted halfway through the quilting, but finished it up the next day.

Isn't the swirly texture great? I really love doing these fun little spirals.  I do them smaller on little projects, and spread out and go big on larger ones.

I stitched the binding on by machine and was done in no time at all!  

I'm pleased with the results.  And by the fact that I made something start to finish in a couple of days, that is sooo satisfying!

Here are the details:

• Fabric:  Sugarcreek by Corey Yoder for Moda, Binding and background from my stash
• Pattern:  Windmills Table Runner by PamelaQuilts (me)
• Measurements:  18 x 45 inches
• Batting: Hobbs premium 100% cotton
• Thread:  Aurifil white 50 wt (2024)

I'll be sending this table runner to Threads That Bind as a sample - my pattern is available there as well as the charm pack and supporting fabrics.
