How to Pick Fabric for a Quilted Table Runner

Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares and today we're going to make a Fancy Four Patch table runner. Okay, we are now going to talk about choosing our fabrics. I like to make this out of cotton or poly-cotton blend because we want it to be washable, laundrable. I'm going to use this on a table so if things spill on it I want to be able to laundry it and cotton and polyester are very good for those. There are millions of different choices of fabrics to choose from. All different designs, if we're going in a black and white motif this is great, a musical motif. Beings that it's springtime I want to go ahead and do something a little a springy so I've choose this as our main piece. It has lots of fun colors in there that we can pull out. So we pulled out a yellow for the binding, a green for some of the piecing, and a pink for some of the piecing. As you can see these all blend together nicely but they don't matchy-match really well so that each piece of the pattern is going to stand out and we're going to be able to see it. If the colors were all too close and match too well the pattern would blend together and you wouldn't be able to see it.
