What does this patchwork look like?
It is pieced from coral, peach and gold embroidered panels with green flower accents, inside a plain orange border. The colours are warm and sunny, and the gold trims add a gentle shine that shows best under warm lighting.
How will it look in my dining room?
Its warm orange and coral tones suit wooden tables, terracotta, brass and earthy crockery. It adds a cheerful band of colour to a neutral room, and works as well under a big spread as it does for daily meals.
How big is it?
The runner is 14 x 60 inches. That covers a good part of a typical dining table or fits a sideboard or console. On a longer table, centre it and let the plain ends of the table frame it.
Will the patches be the same as the one in the photo?
The overall colour will stay similar, but the individual patches will vary. Each runner is pieced by hand from available fabric, and finding the same patches every time is very hard. That variation is what makes each runner unique.
What is the best way to clean it?
Dry clean when you can. Otherwise, hand wash it gently in a mild detergent, separately from other items, and dry it in shade. Avoid wringing so the stitched joins stay neat.
