Scrappy Fall Runner

Remember those scrappy nine patch blocks I was making last week?

Well this week I finished piecing them then I quilted them in a cross hatch patter using orange thread on all the dark patches:

Here's the back side:

And now those scraps are turned into this pretty fall-colored runner for the cabinet in our living room:

This runner finished at 10 x 44 and fits the top of this cabinet perfectly! My husband and sons all said this was nice - simple piecing and not too feminine, so I guess that's probably why they all liked it!
