Twisted log cabin runners

I finally finished a UFO from 2016 during the December holiday.  Although it was only 4 blocks stitched into 2 runners, other projects were always prioritized.  A member of our quilting group, Marietjie, demonstrated this technique.




















I used the same cherry fabrics back in 2013 to make this little wall hanging and was glad I saved the little leftovers of the small cherry print as it was just enough to use as sasching between the 3 blocks for the chest of drawers' runner. 

The single block was done for the bedside table.


A feather motif was embroidered in the center block using variegated thread.  On the red and green sides I free motioned some feathers as well.  The border was stitched using the MuVit foot (previously called a walking foot) and the same variegated thread in a grid pattern.


I don't know if I will ever be able to finish all of the ufo's which have accumulated over the years, but at least I am trying.
