Scrap Runner

Among the large fabric lot I recently thrifted were some red, white and blue scraps that were probably leftover scraps from an Americana project. I've never worked with these type fabrics for quilting, so I decided to make a Memorial Day table runner out of them using only fabrics from the lot.

Since I wanted to use as much of the small scraps as I could I went with a simple rail fence type patchwork, and framed it with a complimentary print.

For the backing I picked this big scrap of a Susan Winget patriotic puppy print that was also included in the lot. The batting I used was a scrap leftover from another project, as was the navy blue binding. I decided not to get into any dense quilting, but just outlined each block with silver holographic Sulky.

Here's the finished runner.

Got to mark off the scraps-only space on my Art Quilter's bingo card, too.
