Layer the white or silver swirl square with one red and black check square, making sure to line up the edges. Continue to watch Shabby Fabrics tutorial on YouTube for further instructions and details.
Next, once all of the pinwheels are finished, start to assemble the table runner. Arrange the pinwheel blocks and black birdhouse squares in a row as shown. Sew the border stripe, inner sashing, outer sashing, and runner end together.
Overall, this is a cute table runner for the holidays. I love how cute and festive it is during Christmas time. I love this style of table runner with the round edges.
