A Breath of Fresh Air for Your Table

Choose Spring-Like Fabrics for These Easy-to-Make Tulips!
Have you been itching to do something with a favorite batik fabric? This table runner will be a beautiful showcase for it. Lighter, spring-like colors work well with the tulip blocks, but choose whatever colors and fabrics you like best.
We can even imagine this with a black background instead of a light one, making the batik tulips glow.
We shifted the colors a bit in Photoshop to get an idea of what it would look like in another predominant color. As you can see, any color theme will be wonderful.
This is a simple project that just about any quilter with basic skills can make. It’s all straight piecing and will go together in a breeze.
The finished quilt by designer Kay Bergquist is 19″ x 49″.
The “Orange City Tulips” table runner pattern originally appeared in the Fall 2014 issue of Easy Quilts. An updated version of the pattern, called “Flower Power”, is currently available from the designer at the link below.
