Table runner and matching towel

My friend Michelle came over today and wanted to do some sewing. She loves to sew and is really good at it, but has not done it in a while, so thought she would start with a runner. We each made one with the same fabrics so we would remember doing this together. I used a piece of the fabric to applique a matching towel.

This is the runner, with two borders. The fabric is a novelty print that looks pieced, but is not. When I quilt it, I will go around each square so it looks pieced. Easy and fun.
