Tuscan Inspiration

The KC Modern Quilt Guild decided to do a Chef's Swap...no, we didn't swap Paula Dean for Bobby Flay, we packed up a bag of scraps and some info about our kitchens, secretly traded bags and made something for each other's kitchens. I drew Sharon and she gave me scraps in burnt orange, green and gold and the inspiration of Tuscany. I made her this tablerunner.
It was fun to free piece and put this together for her. I so hope that it works in her kitchen.

Can you believe it's Friday already? Enjoy the weekend! Happy sewing!

    It may be Friday, but it is still only a quarter till 9...
    (I've been at work since 5, but it feels like it should at least be noon by now...)

    Very nice. I love the way you separated the colors with the light solids. Did those come with the scraps of did you add them later?
