The RSC colour is orange this month. I emptied my orange scrap bag and made these eight 4.5" crumb blocks. Together with improv triangles from 3.5" orange strips and Bella solid yardage in navy blue they've become a table runner.
Measurements: 38"x 17.5" (0.97m x 0.45m)
Thank you to those who responded last week about the orientation of the triangles. I tried both directions but found them rather threatening pointing outwards; pointing inwards they resemble shark's teeth about to devour the crumb blocks, which is fine by me!
Quilting will have to wait; at present I'm layering a large lap quilt.

I like your pretty table runner. Good luck with the layering! Have a lovely weekend! Christine xx
LOVE the bright and cheerful ORANGE scrappy goodness, Marly!! Your runner was a really good use of those Crumbs. Thanks for linking with the September 2021 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge!
Lovely use of tiny little bits of orange fabric. Even love the "shark's teeth" edge. Well done. I have the same issue with the floor. ;^)
Beautiful runner, Marly!
The layering is a problem for me also.
Great table topper! Are you using the roll on boards method to pin the quilt on a table? It works really well.
Great job on the crumb runner! And I like your next quilt coming up, too!!!
Your bead quilt looks fantastic! The floor is too hard for layering. I have some giant clips (about 5cm across) that I use to keep the quilt on the table for pinning. You can see them in action on this blog post:
