I made this braid tablerunner over the weekend from a pattern I bought several years ago! I wanted to give it a try as it is a "quilt-as-you-go" style pattern. The borders were leftover fabrics from an apron swap I was in last fall, and the braids are from a 2.5" noodle swap I participated in from an online swap group! The "quilt-as-you-go" technique was easy and fun, but I did not like the looks of the finished quilting on the back of the runner. I used white muslin for the backing fabric, and I think a print fabric would have hid the quilting! Should I choose to make this again, I will know better!!

Noodles
The mailman graciously left me a squishy full of noodles today! What a treat! Now I just have to decide what to do with them. The "noodles" (2.5" x WOF strips of cotton fabric) are from an online swap at Backporch Friends.
The sun is shining today, so a walk is in order. Will be walking with my handy dandy pedometer, and thinking over what to do with the noodles!
