I finished the top at least a year ago and finally got round to putting on the binding a couple of weeks ago.
The fabrics are Thimbleberries and the pattern I used was one of the free ones from the Fat Quarter Shop.
I thought that finishing this table runner would be good practice for when I tackle the quilt top that is next up for finishing.
I'm cringing a little bit to think that there will be some expert quilters viewing this but I know how kind and supportive you all are :)

Yay! you did it! Congratulations!!I never even complete any...I have many tops completed but I left it just like that....your table runner is so beautiful!!!!!
I've been quilting for over 3 years and I still haven't quilted my own work. So, you're way ahead of me in that department.
Super job! I love your table runner.
Your tablerunner is so beautiful! You surely are a quilter! It looks so nice on your table with the flowers.
Great finish!
It's wonderful! I only hope my first attempt at a tablerunner looks half as good. I love Thimbleberries' colors.
Hi Margaret,
Your table runner is beautiful! It looks so pretty on your table with the paper whites. I am not a quilter, but it looks like a perfect job to me and definitely not your first attempt! You must be so proud! Now you can have fun with another type of needlework. Congratulations!
You shouldn't detract from your work like that! It's gorgeous - I love the color combination and it looks just lovely. You've done something a lot of people can't do, and you should be proud of that!
Margaret it looks wonderful, just super. Congrats on your first finish. Now no more of this talk of cringing.
The only thing I can say it's BRAVO !! Your table runner is very gorgeous and the picture you take with the bunch of flowers makes it more beautiful. I really love it !

Great Job!! I wouldn't even want to show my first quilted project...lol It was a mess and fell apart before I could even give it away to the new baby.
Wow I love your table runner Margaret! It's beautiful.
It looks absolutely perfect from here... congratulations!
Great job on your table runner. It looks gorgeous with the vase of flowers. Love the Thimbleberries fabrics.I agree with everything the other Christine said. Congratulations.
Congratulations on your finish! You did a great job and I really like the color choices in combination with the pattern.
It's funny sometimes how long it takes, once you have a quilt top near completion, to get through the last few steps. I always face the quilting and binding portions with a bit of dread. Oddly enough, I think I dislike most making and sewing on the label.
I envy you those flowers on your table. I can't wait to have flowers again! I hope spring comes soon.
I came accross your blog through a link and have to say I love reading it.
I have recently started patchwork and quilting, and have made a couple of lap quilts and am at the moment making a table runner and mats for next christmas.
I have to say you are an inspiration, your runner is wonderful you wouldnt know it was your first piece of quilting.

Btw, thanks a lot for stopping by my blog and for the nice comments. I appreciate it. I wanna see more of your works, so I'm going to add you in my blogroll, hope you don't mind.
A great day to you!
Well dear Margaret, you better start calling yourself a quilter now as you have gotten more than you feet wet. You did a wonderful job on this tablerunner! It looks great with the flowers going so well with it too. Sometimes we convince ourselves something is just too difficult until we really do it. You can quilt and this is a beautiful example of that! Congratulations on a great job!!!
Hugs ~
