I love making this table runner and gifting it to my loved ones. I can tweak the pattern a little bit by just using different pieces of scraps in my stash. So, if you’re still looking for your next project, try making this one today. Learn how to make it by watching the video tutorial below for the step by step instructions.
Materials:
- layer cake (10″ squares)
- 3/4 yard background
- ruler
- rotary cutter
- cutting mat
- sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Take the layer cakes and cut each into four 5″ squares. Make twenty pieces of this. Next, cut the 3/4 yard fabric into one 7 1/2″ x WOF (width of fabric) strip, and subcut it into four 7 1/2″ squares. With those 7 1/2″ squares, cut them twice at a 45-degree diagonal to make four smaller half-square triangles. After this, cut one 4″ x WOF strip and subcut it into eight 4″ squares. With those 4″ squares, cut them once at a 45-degree diagonal. Subcut the remaining yardage into 2 1/2″ strips for finishing borders.
Step 2
Now, piece your blocks together. Take five different prints and 5″ squares from your charm pack and place them in a cross pattern. Next, take four of the smaller half-square triangles, and place them on the corners. Lastly, put the larger half-square triangles on the sides of the quilt block (refer to the image below for the exact placements of each piece). Sew everything together on a diagonal, then sew the diagonal rows together until you finish the block. Trim the excess and your block should measure 13″ square. Repeat these steps to make a total of four quilt blocks.
Step 3
Once you have all your quilt blocks, sew them together into one row. To finish, take 2 1/2 x WOF background strips, and sew them together to form your border for your table runner.
