Monday Makers!#36

Welcome to Monday Makers!#36. Time is definitely flying! I want to thank all the linkers to last week's MM. I had 14 linkers and it is the highest number that my link up received. I am so happy that it is growing nicely. 
Last week, I started making placemats to compliment my scattered colours table runner. I finished piecing them and one is ready to be quilted.

I found some more of the yellow I used in my runner. Since I didn't have the other colours, I chose darker shades (Shade, value? Have to learn them properly) of the green and pink. 
I was more relaxed this time when inserting my colours and happier with their placement in terms of randomness. 
One thing to keep in mind when deciding on the placement of your strips if you are making a bigger project like a runner; too much playing might make you confused and you might end up with a design far from what you like right at the beginning. (You also might regret that you haven't taken a photo of your initial design- I did that!) 
Oh, I have to say that Alex, the author of the book Improvising Tradition which this project is originally in, left a sweet comment to my blog post about my runner and shared the link on her Facebook page- she is also following Hug-a-Bit Quilts on Facebook at the moment! Made my day really!!!

Now, it is time to link up. Show me your projects ladies and gentlemen!
