Let's Pop Some Corn

I attended a quilt retreat last week and spent most of my time working on a table runner called Let's Pop Some Corn. This table runner was a kit gifted to me by my friend Linda.

This second picture shows the color of the background fabric better than the first photo.

I quilted the runner myself using a serpentine stitch. I've been inspired by Sew Preeti's Quilts and have quilted several quilts this way.

If you look at the link to the Let's Pop Some Corn pattern, you will see there are supposed to be seven ears of corn in the runner. I didn't want my runner to be as long as the pattern specified and only used 5 ears.

My version of the table runner measures 18.5" by 41.5".

I had thought I'd make placemats with the other two ears but changed my mind. I sewed the two blocks together and will make a small table topper. I want to make checkerboard borders around the sides, there was enough fabric leftover to do this.

Let's Pop Some Corn was designed by Sandy Gervais. If you google the pattern name, you can also find links to the kit.

When autumn arrives in six or seven months, I'll be ready with a new table topper and a smaller one too.

Thank you Linda for this lovely kit, perhaps you will come visit again and view the table runner in person. Hopefully we won't have 6" of snow this visit.

While at retreat, my friend Pat gifted me this cute little fairy house. It looks perfect in my flowerbed.
