Garden Harvest Collage - Table Runner by Judith Lattavo

Garden Harvest Collage Table Runner

With optional border, finishes ~ 13" x 40"

Bring the farmers market home! This cheerful table runner celebrates the garden’s best with five fabric-collage veggies: a perky radish, a sunny yellow pepper, a bushy head of broccoli, a skinny little carrot, and a plump, ripe tomato.

Each veggie is built from dozens of tiny fabric snippets layered like a mosaic. It’s the perfect way to raid your scrap bin, because the more prints you toss in, the more texture and sparkle you get. Set against soft cream tone-on-tones and framed in a leafy green batik, this runner looks just as good with Sunday supper as it does all summer long.

No fussy piecing and no perfect points. Just snip, layer, and play. Collage is forgiving, relaxing, and a whole lot of fun, making this a great project for adventurous beginners and seasoned quilters alike.

Piece the foundations together for a table runner or hang them individually - you do you!

Perfect for: scrap lovers, farmhouse kitchens, hostess gifts, and anyone who’s ever been told to eat their vegetables 🥕🍅🥦
