Entry # 1:  Folded Circle Centerpiece, pattern by DJ Richards Design.  Each layer consists of folded triangles.  This quilter's sister saw a 13" tablerunner done in this style.  The quilter says, "She asked if I could make one for her.  I have now made 15 pieces including placemats, snowflakes, and table runners.  They are spread over 4 states in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Georgia.

Entry # 11:  Tablerunner

These were orphan blocks brought to a quilt guild meeting that no one wanted, so this quilter took them and made several table runners.  This runner was finished with prairie points as a sample for a class that she was teaching on finished edges for quilts.
