Complete the Table Runner
Cut setting and corner triangles:See my Setting Triangle Instructions
- Corner triangles: cut two 8" x 8" squares and then cut each square in half once diagonally
Setting triangles: cut two 15-3/8" x 15-3/8" squares and then cut each square in half twice diagonally (two will not be used; save for other patchwork and remember that the straight grain runs along their long edges)
Assemble the Table Runner
- Referring to the illustration, sew larger setting triangles to the blocks as shown (center blocks have two each, end blocks have one each). Press seam allowances towards the triangles.
- Sew the block/triangle sections together along the diagonal, butting adjacent seams for a snug match.
- Center and sew a corner triangle to each outer edge of corner blocks. Press.
- Refer to my straight border instructions to sew two borders to the quilt. If you are a new quilter, don't be tempted to measure the outer edges of your quilt for border lengths, because the quilt is likely skewed a bit.
Use 1-3/4" strips of green plaid for the inner border. Use 3-1/2" strips of bright floral for the outer border.
- Mark for quilting if necessary. Sandwich with backing and (optional) batting. Quilt and bind.
