Hello Fall Mini Runner

I’m delighted to share my Hello Fall Mini Runner with you today for Day 2 of the Hello Fall Blog Hop, hosted by Carla of Creatin’ in the Sticks. What better way to celebrate the fall season than sharing fun fall projects with one another. 

Hello Fall Mini Runner - A little mini made with curved piecing - piecefulthoughts.com

Since fall is my favorite season, I have quite a few items for fall decorating. I decided to make a little mini runner using fall fabrics that I could use interchangeably with different items – a pumpkin, a candle, flowers, etc. 

Hello Fall Mini Runner - This little mini was made using templates designed by Jen Carlton Bailly - piecefulthoughts.com

The curved piecing was done using templates from Jen Carlton Bailly. Each circle block is 6″ finished. The mini runner measures 10″ x 22″. The block design, Turbine, is also from Jen. I have been having fun with curved piecing – you’ll be seeing more soon! 

The fabrics all came from my stash. I like the soft, subdued coloring of the circle fabrics. 

Hello Fall Mini Runner - Straight line quilting to finish it up - piecefulthoughts.com

I added some straight line quilting for a quick finish using 50 wt Aurifil thread in orange. 

Hello Fall Mini Runner - A peek at the backing and binding - piecefulthoughts.com

The backing is a tan fabric my stash. I had just enough of the orange plaid fabric for the binding. 

Here’s one more view of my Hello Fall Mini Runner, this time with a flower centerpiece.
