Hello Fall Mini Runner
I’m delighted to share my Hello Fall Mini Runner with you today for Day 2 of the Hello Fall Blog Hop, hosted by Carla of Creatin’ in the Sticks. What better way to celebrate the fall season than sharing fun fall projects with one another.
Since fall is my favorite season, I have quite a few items for fall decorating. I decided to make a little mini runner using fall fabrics that I could use interchangeably with different items – a pumpkin, a candle, flowers, etc.
The curved piecing was done using templates from Jen Carlton Bailly. Each circle block is 6″ finished. The mini runner measures 10″ x 22″. The block design, Turbine, is also from Jen. I have been having fun with curved piecing – you’ll be seeing more soon!
The fabrics all came from my stash. I like the soft, subdued coloring of the circle fabrics.
I added some straight line quilting for a quick finish using 50 wt Aurifil thread in orange.
The backing is a tan fabric my stash. I had just enough of the orange plaid fabric for the binding.
Here’s one more view of my Hello Fall Mini Runner, this time with a flower centerpiece.
I hope you take the time to visit the other bloggers participating in the Hop. Here’s the schedule:

What a lovely centre piece for a table.
Elizabeth Coughlin
Very pretty!
Quilting is in my Blood
What a wonderful Autumn table runner! Do you trace or cut directly around the edges of the curved templates? I’m a little uncoordinated when it comes to using templates! Have a great day, Mary.
Stitchin at Home
A beautiful combination of colour you can use any time! Love it!
Molli

Did you ever think you would say you were having fun with curved piecing? You sure are doing a fabulous job with it!

txquiltgal
How pretty! Reminds me of a harvest moon against a fence. Beautiful colors.
Kathleen McCormick
Perfect use of the circle blocks, with your own twist. Is the strip pieced or appliqued? Nice that this doesn’t read fall exclusively and you can use it anytime!
Carla Henton
This is such a great modern take on a fall runner. Love it. The straight line quilting is the perfect touch. Thank you for being a part of the Hello Fall Blog Hop. It’s so fun to see new ideas!
Diann@LittlePenguinQuilts
That just says fall and pumpkins without a single holiday fabric in it at all! Love it, Wendy! I’m so impressed with your curved piecing – it’s really looking good. Fun finish!

This is very pretty! I love soft oranges and this is a good mix.

Hi Wendy! What a fabulous color combination and a runner that will look sweet wherever it lands. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the circles. It’s so interesting how the straight lines interrupting the circles really draw your eyes right to them. Great job! ~smile~ Roseanne

Such a lovely runner. It is a beautiful design with circles and plusses and the fabrics are a perfect match. I have Jen Carlton Bailey circles templates as well. I just haven’t taken them out of the box to use them 🙂

Rochelle SUMMERS
This is a beautiful table runner….a little bit modern and a lot fall. It looks great with those little strips of dark background fabric sewn in. The circles give it such pizzazz and the binding was the perfect selection. Love the backing as well.
selina
I love the modern look of your runner. Perfect in fall colors. I also love your pumpkin. Is it carved or is it vinyl, I am working on the concept that it is a real pumpkin.

I thought those blocks looked familiar. I took Jen’s curves class at QuiltCon. We didn’t make that block but she showed us the possibilities. Beautiful runner for fall!
Sandra Walker
Fantastic runner Wendy, and so you! I, too, love the subdued oranges (with turquoises) I’m seeing over the past year, and now more that it’s autumn again.
