It is my turn on the Fun red, white and blue blog hop. I hope you have been enjoying all the great blocks along the way. I didn't realize how much I loved them until I started seeing them. My first thought was to make stars. But everyone makes stars. So I made a couple of quick pinwheels.
I made the blocks using HSTs and so the stripes came out in two different directions. I loved them both.
Then I took a picture of them together and I thought "they need to be a table runner. Do I have any white?" And I looked and yes I did. Se this is what I came up with.
And I quilted it with free form stars all around and in the ditch on the pinwheels them selves. More of the stripes (which I actually found in with my Christmas fabric) for the binding and Voila!
Now go on and take a look at all the wonderful other block blog hop posts for today. Enjoy!

Thanks to Jane and Madame Samm!
Edited to add: Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit. This was a great blog hop. I am sorry I did not have the time to reply to everyone individually. I hope I get better at that, but time gets away from me sometimes. I am glad my blocks/table runner was so well received.

I love blog hops because I get introduced to so many new blogs. I am now a follower. Love how you used the stripes, it reminds me of a flag that one would fly on a boat. Also love how you used the stripes on the binding, the perfect way to finish it.
Love your work. Am now a follower!
