Bed Runner for Mom

A couple of years ago, my mom sold her house in the suburbs and moved into a condo in the city. Her new condo is super modern and when I went for my first visit, she mentioned that she would love a black and white bed runner made by me for her new bedroom.

During the Christmas holidays a couple of months ago, I started playing with my black and white scraps and decided it was time.  So I made 12.5" slab blocks in black, white and grey and threw one piece of red in there for a pop of colour.  I had made a few blocks when I put this project on my Q1 list for the 2017 FAL.  So this is my first finish on that list!!

I quilted it with a meander with Aurifil 2600 in 50 wt.

The binding is Kona Red and I used my precious Cotton and Steel from a couple of years ago for the backing.

I put it on my bed to see how it would look on a Queen Size bed and it's perfect!

And it did get Bronx' seal of approval... more than once!
