table runner in the making

Hello Blog Readers :)
In My Creative space sits this Block .I'm wanting to make my FIRST ever Table Runner.I absolutely love this owl fabric by Saffron Craig and wanting to make something special with  it  After doing a google search I came across a few Great Tutorials and awesome looking Table runners.

so Here I go BIG step for me taking the block to make a finish product in Quilting alot different to doll/softies making.But so Far I'm really enjoying the whole process.and who knows maybe I will be able to join on a table runner swap next time if there is one .
I even got my day's worth of exercise hehe {walking from the Kitchen table to the bench to iron .}

I'm thinking 3 or 4 blocks ? maybe add some sashing {is that what its called ?} and as for the binding haven't quiet decided on what to use.{eeek binding need to read /watch few tutorials}

I'm thinking with Christmas {yep the C word} only 7 months away {already } that it was time to make something festive {or maybe start now so i get it finished hehe }

I need to buy some more of the owl fabric and i have also noticed it comes in a white background red owls hmm think i might grab some of that one too to play around with.
Im really loving the colour red at the moment.

To see more Creative space pop HERE
