As I took the table runner we usually use to the laundry room for a wash the other day I was thinking how I really ought to make more runners for a little variety. The next day inspiration arrived in the mail. You see, I’ve treated myself to the monthly Kona Solids 1/2 yard club at Canton Village Quilt Works (Shhh…lets not mention it to Handsome). The price was right and I’ve been wanting to add more solids to my stash but I wasn’t sure about what I would get. Would these be 6 ugly half yards per month? All the colors CVQW couldn’t sell otherwise? Since I could cancel at any time I wanted, I decided to take a chance, and I’m so glad I did! Look at these pretty colors:
They are perfect for adding a little Valentine spirit to the house and I got started right away. When I saw this table runner in last winter’s edition of Modern Patchwork I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave in and made one for myself. Here’s my Valentine’s version:
This was a great pattern to work with and it was an easy Saturday project.

It’s sweet and modern and probably too girly for the men in the house, but it’s just right for cheering up a gray February. Even better, I have lots of fabric leftover from this bundle to add to my stash. I can’t wait to see what color combination comes in next month’s package!
