When I entered the churn dash challenge I just knew I could not do a quilt so being practical I went for a table runner for my kitchen island. I also matched it with a quilt I have in the lounge which is visible from the kitchen. I used some of the same fabric as in the quilt for the block centres. I'm pleased with the results. This is my churn dash journey.
I've also put up a picture of my "macadamia nut" harvest . The only thing is they are very hard to crack , I really don't know how the cockatoos break them open.

Congratulations on your pretty finish. The perfect fit for your kitchen island.
The runner is very pretty.
the runner looks great on your island.......well done.........
goodluck with the nuts....I have a triangle nut cracker that you twist down....
Perfect. The ideal compromise.
Oh, your table runner is perfect! Love the green and fussy cutting those flowers.
Your macadamia nuts are like our black walnuts. There is a green outer shell that will stain your fingers till you die - they make a great brown dye but so very permanent on your fingers! The inner shell is ultra hard, and to crack them people will drive their cars over them. Colin will use a hammer on concrete, all of his strength and still not succeed most of the time. It's truly a labor of love.
Jenny your Churn Dash blocks have been made into a gorgeous table runner matching the quilt hanging over your lounge.
Lucky you to have those delicious macadamias....
Love the table runner! Try freezing the nuts before you crack them-I found that helpful with filberts. It might work.
Your runner looks beautiful. Hand quilted too.
Your churn dash runner looks fantastic Jenny. Well done on your finish. I love the addition of the hand stitches too. Great macadamia haul! Cockatoos are tough little fellows. As I sit and look outside my window, there's one getting into my sunflowers.
Your table runner looks wonderful Jenny as does your quilt, beautiful flower fabric in that. Enjoy those macadamia nuts.
I love the table runner & it's beautiful with the vase of "matching" flowers...
I think churn dash blocks always make a lovely pattern... xox
Nice table runner Jenny, you are already done. Wow.
I remember you starting your Churn Dashes one day on zoom - and look how beautiful they are and all completed too! The runner looks great on your table and with the vase of flowers! We have a couple of Macadamia trees too and gosh the nuts are hard to crack...delicious once you do open them though :-)
your runner is very pretty
Your churn dash looks great and it certainly matches the flowers perfectly!
