Off the Rails Table Runner

Welcome to my stop on Benartex's Judy's Bloom hop! I'm the first to admit that I don't typically gravitate toward soft floral prints, but when I saw the Judy's Bloom collection by Eleanor Burns for Benartex, I knew exactly what I'd use them for. I really love the watercolor effect of these fabrics. 


 I have long admired the look of watercolor-style quilts, and I thought these fabrics would work really well in that blended type of effect. 

The result? My latest pattern, the Off the Rails Runner.
(Keep reading for details about the FQ bundle giveaway of Judy's Bloom, plus a discount code for the pattern. Mother's Day is around the corner...hint hint)

The light, medium and dark prints blend beautifully into each other. 


This pattern works well with tonal prints in varying shades as well. For this Modern Blender version, I used the Color Weave basics collection, also from Benartex. The key is to have a light, medium and dark of each color. 


Aren't these colors gorgeous?


To celebrate my pattern launch, I'm offering a 25% off discount code through 5/1. Head to my Etsy shop and use code JUDY25 at checkout.

  8. I saw your runner on Benartex's IG feed and loved the watercolor effect you mentioned. I am drawn to the lavenders but I love them all.

  9. I like all the colors, but if I had to put them in order, it would be: blue, green, white, rose, then lavender.

  10. It is hard to pick just one color way, but I guess the pink colorway is my favorite. I have three granddaughters that would love this as well. One would like the pink, one the lavender, and one the blue. I may just have to pick up some of the fabric to make something for each of them. Your table runner is so uplifting...it really says Spring is here and it is time to brighten up with color.

  11. Thank you so much for showing the pattern in 2 different types of fabric. The solids are so pretty but the florals sing! It really helps me to imagine the pattern’s potential with choices.
