UFO Table runner

I ran across a kit several weeks ago  that I had purchased at Piper's Quilt Shop in Salt Lake at least 15 years ago, maybe even longer than that.  I really wanted to make it when I bought it but it was stashed away and forgotten.  When I discovered it still in my stash, I decided if I was ever going to make it, I'd better get started NOW.  It was fun to make and I simplified it by downgrading the applique from hand sewn to machine applique.  It cut about a year off the construction part and I think it turned out just as well.
