Way back a few years ago, I taught our quilt guild about weaving quilts.  I do not know where I first heard about it but the concept of a woven quilt but it intrigued me.  I have seen quilts made out of tubes, where once you weave them and then sew them together and have it quilted, the “tube” makes the front and the back of a quilt.  Fun idea I’m sure I’ll utilize in the future.

Most of you know we have a big family, two parents and four children.  We also have my (third) foster mother staying with us for a few winter months.  Table runners are a near necessity on our dining table.  They hold the daily use items of napkins, salt and pepper shakers, etc.  We have about four that we rotate on the table during the month and I truly enjoy that little splash of quilting and color in the middle of my table.

Since I like to tackle projects that entail different quilting techniques, I embarked on making us a woven table runner with quilt fabrics (please pardon the curve, I was so anxious to photograph it I didn’t take the time to block it)!

Over the next couple of days, I will give you the instructions for this extremely simple table runner project.  Stay tuned!
