Table Topper finished with binding

I finished the wild table runner/hanging, using the pieced binding.  The binding doesn't show well in this camera picture, but is great in person.


I've been  going through my fabrics again! getting rid of old fabric that is sun-damaged, cut into, and that I don't like anyway.  No reason to save something I'll never use.  I have a couple garbage bags full of yucky fabrics.

I've also been trying a new way of free motion quilting that I saw on Leah Day's blog.  Leave the feed dogs up and set stitch length to 0 so that the feed dogs are not engaged.  My Bernina has a stitch regulator but I keep forgetting what my feet do and what my hands do, so I'm not using it and I have better results!
