Coffee table runner

My friend, Helen, had a special birthday so it needed a special gift.  We have enjoyed so much hospitality and cups of coffee and tea at her place.  I found the perfect coffee/tea fabric in my stash and made her a table runner.  I cut 60 degree triangles from this border print and played with them until this arrangement popped out :-).

Finished runner

I quilted it with organic line quilting with a variegated King Tut thread

I found some coffee bean fabric for the binding and had just enough (inches to spare!)
