Table Runner idea

I made this drawing/pattern up before Christmas - when I was playing with ideas from my MIL's table runner. In the end though, I realized I really want to make it - for me! That and I knew I had no time to get this done before we flew out to Vancouver.
I have been sitting on it, not literally, literally it is pinned on the wall behind my head where I sit at my sewing table. hee hee. I had mentioned to Staci that I hoped this pattern would change her mind about having incomplete Dresden circles.
So, what do you think? Incomplete Dresden circles. Anyone horrified at my pattern idea? I had thought I would use the 30's prints, but I think I may even get solids like my drawing. For the hexies, I am thinking of 3-4 different solid cream to mustard like colors. I may do the hexies solid and then stick with the original plan of the prints for the circles. You all will be the first to know! I could say it would be Mr. Hunter, but he just isn't into it.
Anyone else making up new patterns or have hubbies that ignore our sewing addiction? 
Cheers,
Carolyn

  2. I really like it too. And yes, my hubby just nods his head when I talk about sewing and then agrees with whatever I say. I sometimes get the "I really could care less what you are going on about" look but mostly the eyse glaze over.

  4. Me too! If you write a pattern I'll make it too. I would use the solid fabrics or batiks, only because I've already done a 30's print quilt.
