When a quilt design becomes a table runner

Sometimes you see a quilt pattern you like but don't actually want to make the entire quilt. Cue the table runner...a smaller and quicker version of your new favorite quilt design! In the just-released June 2016 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, quilt tester Laura Boehnke transformed "The Wheel Deal" quilt into a table runner using our Divine Twine prints by Dover Hill Studio. 

Simple, quick, and most importantly, awfully attractive!

A new look for twine

Raise your hand if you have a ball of twine in a kitchen drawer. Most of us do, and most of us don't give it a second thought. While useful, twine is fairly boring. 

Until today. Dover Hill Studio's new Divine Twine collection turns this handy rope product into a thing of beauty. Twine outlines flowers, medallions, paisleys, swirls, and more in this rich, masculine-colored collection. Who knew twine could be so attractive?! 

Here's a closer look at the medallion print--these medallions can be fussy-cut into 6-1/2" squares--perfect for adding intricate detail to a quilt block. 

Divine Twine has two free quilt patterns. The first pairs the prints with coordinating Burlap colors to create a quilt made of contrasting shades.

The second uses fussy-cut medallion blocks alternating with a secondary pieced block with a nautical feel.
