The wetted out project...
...and mid-way through felting.
The reverse side of the runner.
Getting ready to full the piece.
The finished table runner, drying...
...and after pressing with a steam iron.
This lovely piece of vintage sari silk was a gift from my friend, Deborah...
...and you can see how easily the fibers migrated through the fabric...
...and how the pre-felt squares melted into it during felting...
...leaving a nice, flat surface.
(A very important attribute in a table runner!)
The finished project...
...soon to be a wedding gift. :)

This turned out great, I love the simplicity of it! I'm going to try one, I want to make a scarf but don't have a long enough table so this would be a perfect option.
It looks great, - you must be very pleased with it!
Laura--Yes...it's a good project for limited space!
Rachel--I like it very much...but then again, it's orange!! Giggle.
It turned out beautifully Heather :) I love the double row of tiny squares! And the solid border around the outside. I can't tell from the photos what colour that is, on some it looks gold and on others green? Whichever.. it is a gorgeous piece and what a wonderful wedding gift it will be!

Deborah-I'm glad you thought I did your beautiful fabric justice! :) The border is mid-way between gold and green, but I think it looks more green when contrasted with the butter yellow squares. :)
