Barbara’s Shamrock Runner!!

Mar 4

How cute is this shamrock ☘️ runner?!?!?!!! Barbara made a runner using a couple of the blocks from Kimberbell Designs St. Patrick’s Wall Hanging.

I love the contrast of the white and green scrappy fabrics.

I used 2 different 30 tex A&E Perma Core threads, a lime green and a white. I also used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting.

I love a little ribbon candy quilting on the green border, the overlapping circles behind the shamrocks, and the 1/2” lines in the shamrocks...it’s all about texture.

If by some chance you haven’t see. My video on quilting overlapping circles, check it out!! Looks like mini rainbows.

I used an Edge ruler from a Linda at thequiltedpineapple.com, to quilt the lines in the shamrocks. I use her 8” ruler the most, it’s the perfect length to quilt most small things. I'm love the chaining effect of the quilting in the 9 patch. It frames the shamrocks so nicely.

I used my 9” circle, from my Circle2™ ruler set, to quilt the design in the 9 patches. I love having such a variety of circles, because I know that at least one of them will work for any size that I need.
