This easy patchwork table runner pattern is a quilting project made with four simple 10" square quilt blocks that are placed on point and surrounded by setting triangles. Borders are repeats of two fabrics used in the quilt blocks.
Table Runner Pattern Options
- Sew a the table runner to suit any theme by choosing different fabrics.
- Eliminate one block to make a table runner that's about 51" long (and cut one less large red square used for setting triangles.)
- Make the table runner wider and/or longer by adding additional borders.
- To increase width without altering the length, sew an additional border across the table runner's top and bottom before adding the outer side borders, either next to the narrow border or at the edges of the runner. A border print would work nicely in that position.
Finished Table Runner Size: About 22-1/2" x 65"
