This is what it looked like four hours ago
and this is now:
I've quilted in all the ditches around the large triangles that make up the hexagons, and between the borders - doing the last one now.
I plan to free motion quilt with light grey 50 wt thread on the white and light grey background, with dark grey 50 wt on the darker greys and hand quilt with big stitches on the colours. Unfortunately I don't have the right colours in my stock of 12 wt cotton. I do however have hundreds of colours of DMC stranded cotton. Has anyone experience of quilting with stranded cotton? I'm rather afraid that the strands will separate, or not be strong enough. I'd really be grateful for your advice on this.
Meanwhile it's back to the ditches!

I like how your table runner is looking - have you done all the piecing by machine or is some by hand?
Wonderful table runner, pretty colors! Have fun with FMQ!
I can't offer any opinion on quilting with stranded cotton. I hope someone can help with that.
The table runner is wonderful though!
So pretty! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
I haven't tried using stranded cotton on a quilt but I have used it on a skirt where it held up okay. My inclination is always to give things a go. Your runner is very pretty.
Very lovely! Good luck finishing it up!
