I finished the last two 12-inch blocks on the tulip runner last night.
I ran out of the green for the leaves, so I used a darker color for the center section.
I will use a bit of that same dark on the ends to make it look planned.
I left the runner on the floor while I surfed a few blogs. Now and then I glanced over to try to visualize what might work for the ends. I decided to use just a portion of the six-inch foundation – only the tulip head and stem. I thought the big green leaves would be too much.
So I set about sewing two more of the altered foundations.
This is the end result:

Thanks for your insight,
I never go out and buy fabric for a runner. I have a pretty good stash and I just go pull out fabrics and start sewing. I almost always buy fabric when it's marked way down....I just got home from Joanne's where I bought 5 yds of $9.99/yd quilting fabric for $3/yd.
I think 5 FQ's would be plenty to make a table runner.
