Last week I said I was working on a little Irish Chain gift and here it is! A little table runner for a friend's Christmas birthday (yesterday). The center stars were inspired by joulutortut; (recipe here), a Finnish Christmas treat. The squares are 1.25". I quilted on the diagonals, in the ditch between the two green borders, and around each of the 13 little stars. This was definitely a fun project and I think it's found a good home!

So pretty--I say every year it's going to be an all handmade Christmas and every year I find myself standing in line at the stores waiting to whip out my debit card!
