I do like the block better with your fabrics, though, because they do give it a folk art look -- kind of Pennsylvania Dutch like your MIL said, or maybe Scandinavian rosemaling folk art? I used bright batiks for mine and they just don't look right to me.<br /><br />I can't believe your MIL couldn't even compliment your handmade gift! It's beautiful, and even if she doesn't use it year-round, it would be lovely for the 4th of July with the red, almost-white and blue and the folk art feel.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-2955730128061518372013-12-22T20:21:03.580-08:002013-12-22T20:21:03.580-08:00I think your runner is lovely. That would look go...I think your runner is lovely. That would look good on any table! And I can't imagine not gushing when someone gives you a handmade gift. But my family is similar, and I gave up making things for them long ago. My sisters and mother always thought that it could only be great if it came from a department store! Ugh! I just don't know how I grew up in the same house with those people! lol<br /><br />Hoping you have a very Merry Christmas!<br />reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-75453432179445331472013-12-22T15:18:09.596-08:002013-12-22T15:18:09.596-08:00Your runner is so lovely, and I like the way you q...Your runner is so lovely, and I like the way you quilted it as well.BillieBee (billiemick)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12962933031675452865noreply@blogger.com
