Yes @Sara-S , eventually I will do five flowers plus border and make it into a long thin table runner, which will cover and protect the whole table. I’ve now made two, but upcycling furniture for my daughter is keeping me away from sewing. :'(

I’ve now managed to do all 5 flowers, so the borders next. Just need to work out the size to fit the width of the table. I’m not sure about the very floral fabric, but it’s staying now! It’s just for me, so no need to be absolutely perfect  :P

@Sheilago do you mean the floral you have used for a couple of the petals?  If so, it’s fine.  It gives the pattern some interest without being overpowering.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.

Yes, that’s what I meant @Sara-S . There are other patterned fabrics in the petals, but one is more boldly patterned than the rest and I felt it was standing out too much. Thank you for your comments, it’s good to hear what other people think, even if I’ve no intentions of changing it!  :D

I finished the table runner last night, so here it is. Still a little stiff , but it’ll soften in time. Just in time to protect the table from all the summer sun ( I hope)  :D

Thank you all, though the credit for design goes to @Iminei : it’s more or less a copy of one that she made. :D
