A few years ago my Mum and I painted the sunroom at the summer house, and I threw out some fake flowers that hung between the windows. I have never really liked them, but my Mum claimed they brought colour to the room. As the bag went into the trash I told her I'd sew something for her to hang there instead. Well.... better late than never... We measured the areas earlier this summer and I Tuesday night started piecing
some whirligig and pinwheel blocks I have been thinking about trying for a long time. Today I stitched down the last of the bindings:
They are a bit crooked, and they need a wash and a press before they are hung, but I think they turned out pretty cute - I'll see if I can get a pic once they are up between the windows. And those blocks are strip pieced and very quick and fun to make, so I have a feeling there are more of them in stall for the future, but perhaps a bit bigger than 3.25" ;o)
Finishing off this post with some pics I took on my hike to
Kolsåstoppen this afternoon:

I love the little runners! I can't wait to see them hung up to get a better perspective - what size are they finished?
Your runners look lovely Anne.... and beautiful photos too!
Those runners are sooooo much nicer than 'fake' flowers. 8-)) Lovely photos also.
Oh sweetie, these look lovely! Your mum will love them and they much better than fake flowers!
Beautiful scenery on your walk, love the red mushrooms!!!
