A while ago I started a table runner. Yes, the house will soon be covered in Quilted items in every room. 
The Gals at Sewkindofwonderful offered a free pattern they called Mod Ornament. It must have been very successful because it’s not on the website right now, which leads me to believe they will be offering it for sale soon – as they should.
I’m becoming a ruler junkie, I had to combine their pattern with a Diamond Rect that I made using Deb Tuckers ruler. And then I came up with the idea of edging this with tiny pompoms, just to give it some more oomph!
On the left, the smallest pompom ribbon I could find at JoAnn’s. On the right, something I found on Amazon that came all the way from China and probably cost less.
For over a month this sat unfinished on the table. I went to Israel, I got involved in another project.
Finally it was time to quilt. I had a bear of a time with this. On my large quilt I had used Superior Threads So Fine. While it worked like a dream on the longarm, it was awful on my Juki. The thread kept snapping and breaking no matter what I did. So it was back to Aurifil for me. Sewing machines are so finicky, I may yet try some other thread, but my machine doesn’t like the So Fine.
I also used up the rest of the Poly batting from Quilters Dream, not too happy with it, so I’m glad it’s all used up.
A project this size quilts up quickly.
As you can see, I didn’t use that pompom ribbon. The yellow was just too bright and it felt like overkill. 
I found this quilting pattern on Pinterest, but can anyone actually see it?
Or the details in the ornaments? Who knows, I got good practice and quilted looks better than not.
Artistic shot.
On the table.
And with a birthday gift I just received. Perfect match isn’t it?
Now, on to sewing clothes.
