ScrapHappy January 2022
This table runner/ wall banner is made from the scraps left over from a baby quilt I made in June of 2019. It is based on a design by Alexandra Ledgerwood from her book Improvising Tradition. I love the crisp clean look of the design, and I have enough scraps to make two more!
The downstairs level of my house has a lot of support pillars breaking up the space — it was fun to make a small wall quilt that will fit one of those spaces.

Love the leaves and at angles like they just blew in!!
Me too! I love so many of her designs and especially this one.
It’s always fun to finish a fun project! I like the way the leaves dance on the runner!
Yes, I don’t finish often, so I am relishing the feeling! 🙂
That is just lovely! What a clever use of scraps, and such an elegant outcome!
This is beautiful with a modern classy-ness! Very beautiful use of scraps!
Thank you. I love that book Improvising Tradition and her designs just hit all the marks for me! 🙂
Thank you, Kate!
Leaves are always a favorite theme for me and you table runner is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I like this 🙂 I bet it looks fab on your wall and on your table.
Thanks, I really like it. Most of our decor is very traditional, but I like this more modern touch.
I had forgotten that book included the leaves. They are an elegant way to use scraps to make something useful.
Thanks, Joanna! I have more leaves to use up but now I am seeing them framed by scrappy strips like your recent log cabin project!
love the leaves, great use of scraps. I can imagine making a pile of them and stitching them on all sorts of things, one would even make a great patch on clothing.
I love those leaves, but haven’t gotten around to making any myself.
What??!! I managed to find one pattern you haven’t made yet?!! I am amazed. 🙂
It´s beautiful!
Very pretty, Great use of scraps.
That is beautiful and a great use of leftovers from another piece!
