Just so you know I used 40 different fabric strips on this quilt with scraps leftover to fix a few mistakes 🙂  (Always cut and sew carefully!)  And I completed the top in 2 afternoons with only a few whining children and 1 helpful husband!Gooseberries2

While cruising around the wonderful Internet a while ago, I saw this cute runner that Camille did. (I know, I know….we aren’t on a first name basis…YET.  But like Heather Bailey  we are gonna be best friends.  I am sure of it!!) 🙂   Anyway, I just knew I had to make one!!  It looked simple enough for a Girl like me and so I …..well.  Mom made it.  She just can’t help herself.  Having a broken leg and all, she is bored out of her mind.  So, I let her make it for me!!  🙂 hahah.  Seriously, Ladies…..this went to together SO fast and It is adorable!!  I love it.  It is perfect for a summer table!

It was also featured on the Moda Bakeshop, and I know you all love that place as much as I do….. (go there for the pattern and tutorial)

The Charm pack we used was ” Berry Delicious” by Moda, and some red ric rac.  Fast,easy and inexpensive!!  Plus you can get EVERYTHING you need to make it in our shop!  Whoop, whoop!!

Have a great day!
