Ok here is the table runner w/oatmeal tell it like it is????

Ok now I have the top all sewn with the oatmeal instead of the white so tell me what do you think. :icon_neutral:
I still have to layer it and figure the backing and binding color. This one just isn't "talking" to me!!! :o
So Tell me like it is!!! :o

The oatmeal looks great...much better than the white would have. Keep listening, you'll hear the tablerunner talking to you when you least expect it.

Hi Jan,
I like the oatmeal as well. It Looks great. For binding, choose one of the predominant colors in the quilt--maybe the blue--to give contrast to the oatmeal. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Thank you both for your kind comments I appreciate it.
Just having a time with this one!! :(
I like the oatmeal too. The white was just to bright!

I really like it....and I agree with Martha...a blue from the fabric would look awesome.

Here are the colors I was looking at before, I think the blue would do too!! :icon_happy:
I do like the lavender though. Thanks Ladies for your input!! :icon_happy:

i love it! I am going to be contraversial though and say i would bind it with aubergine (eggplant) i see a touch of it in one fabric and i think it would make everything ping beautifully.

just my 10 pence worth

ugh at spelling/typing.....sorry. Am tired but you get the gist?

This is as dark as I have. Would it be close? :)

I like the blue myself.

I love the oatmeal AND I think the blue for binding would really frame it nicely. I have a couple of those charms packs and I've not yet figured out what to do with them.

I too like the blue.

This is why I just LOVE this forum. :icon_happy:
We have this ability to talk and show pictures just like we were in the same room and get inspiration and encouragement from each other.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AND JENNY AND HER KIDS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!!!! :icon_happy::icon_happy::icon_happy:

HUGS TO ALL AND GOD BLESS.

My Grandson from Sacramento just got her so now I can go play Grandma :D

Love Jan G

I will be back later!!!

i like the darker, but the consensus seems to be blue.....both looks good

I'm going to go against the grain and say I really love the lavender!

You all rock, the camera/w/flash washes out a bit of the color. I tired to turn off the flash but I think because of the time of day it does it auto, sooo the colors are a bit darker than they show. I will let it hang for a few days and change the background then it will "Talk" to me and I will pick and you all may see it done next weekend. BUT I have GK'S this week and more coming next weekend, so we will see. Thank you all for your input, you have know idea how it has helped me. For I was truly stuck on this one!! THANK YOU

Hugs to alll

I vote for the lavender, and the oatmeal looks just fine to me. Surprise us and let's see what the finished product looks like.

I have to say the binding color will really make this runner "sing" to you! Since you can see this in real life, which color do you think goes best where you want to use it. Example - I love the blue, but if your decor (assuming you are keeping this for you) is something that fits better one of the other options, then go for it. This is going to be a stunner when you are done! Keep us posted!

Jan, I love your table runner . You did a super job. I favor the blue..... but each sample would work.

I love this choice! It's a keeper!!!!

Ooh I do like the blue, but that's one of my favorite colors. It is very pretty, can't wait to see it all finished.

I like the oatmeal real well. It's a lovely runner. I would bind it in one of the darker colors for contrast.....Barb

The darker blue or a maroon border would be great. As you can see we all have different opinions and only you can make the finial decision. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I personally like the blue! The darker of the purples is also very nice. The blue just seems cool and calming...maybe I am drawn to it since it is 100 degrees + here today.

I was wandering about a maroon color (or whatever the dark reddish color is) and then saw that Susan mentioned it, too. The blue is okay, but I'm just thinking the rich darker maroon color would be nice.

Either blue or lavender. My favorite is the first lavender you picked, but then that is my favorite color anyway. I wonder about the eggplant? No matter, though...it is all about what you like best! Pretty quilt.

Jan, this is great. The oatmeal was the right choice.
