This may be a stretch for Metamorphosis Monday, at Between Naps On The Porch but it is in fact a metamorphosis.
I have had this blue and white fabric in my stash for a while. I buy fabric when I fall in love with it even though I do not know what I will be using it for. I just stash it away until an idea hits me. I love to make machine quilts. I usually make lap size as they are so much more versatile for decorating. I also make table runners and placemats.
Since I love blue and white china(expensive or inexpensive) I thought I would try to make a runner that would echo the pattern in my blue and white dishes, accessories, etc. This is such an easy fast table runner. I didn't even quilt it or topsitch it. I just put stiff interfacing between the layers. I also made 4 placemats with leftover fabric.

Very pretty table runner and matches your dishes so well. I love blue and white dishes. Great Met Monday project
Hi Deb - You do have some beautiful dishes and I am a dish-lover. I see you are new at blogging and so am I so I will follow you and enjoy all your gorgeous table-scapes. I have a cat-sitting business so I post a lot of cat silliness but I will be throwing in lots of photos of my favorite table-wear. You sound as busy as I am so have a great day. Deb

Hi Debbie, I love the fabric and the great pieces you made. I too love the blue and white and have two vintage sets of Blue Willow in my Tuscan Kitchen. Love the touch of blue with it. Your dining room looks gorgeous.
So nice to meet you and visit your lovely blog.

Hope you'll drop by AtticMag to give JaneT some advice on making a bench from a vintage bed. #81 on Met Monday.
