I'm making a table runner for myself with the leftovers from the placemat material. I certainly overestimated the yardage I needed. I still have leftovers (I love the colors, I'm not complaining).
Random patterns are so hard to really get random. I spent some time shuffling around colors, eventually ending up with this. It's a bit darker on one side than the other, but I wasn't paying attention as I cut up the leftover strips. Oh, well! I still like it.
It will get a brown border and binding. I have one or two quilting patterns I'd like to practice. I'm hoping I'll get time this week to work on it some more.
I think you managed to get most of the colors evenly spread except for the purple. You're right, it does seem to weigh down on the bottom and right sides, but I kind of like it! I think it's much more interesting than something that's evenly spaced. Call it a happy accident!
