The good news is that I have my morphed table runners pieced, and one of them is quilted and ready for binding. I combined the Quick Table Runner from QuiltBus and the Two Seasons runner from Hancock Fabrics, adjusting the size for my antique breakfast table. (Patterns here: http://www.bomquilts.com/Free-Table-Quilt-Patterns.php )The problem now is that I'm not sure how to bind the inside corners. Are there any websites out there, like Binding for Dummies? :shock: I've seen the technique for binding inside curves (the clip and straighten thing) but I don't want to clip first and ruin these if I can do them another way. Here are the WIPs:

No ideas, but how pretty. I need the whole quilting for dummies book!

LOVE your runner. So cute! I haven't done any binding like that, but I bet you need to make sure you use bias binding and I bet it's much like binding curved borders - how you sort of leave a little tuck of binding at each dip in the curve. I will have to keep up with the answers you get, I'm curious myself! :)

I too, really like your table runner :D Sorry that I do not have an answer to your question other than do you live close to a quilt shop? maybe if you took it there they could help you out. I will be watching for the solution(s) too :D

Cathe's got it right. http://www.quiltville.com/binding.shtml

Cathe - hey great to know! I rarely use bias binding, I'm lazy! So glad this question came up. :)
|
Unless I want it for a design element (like a plaid or stripe), I seldom use bias binding on tablerunners or wall quilts. I do use it when I want durability, as for a bed quilt or baby quilt, or when binding curves.

Thank you all so much! I'll give it a try this afternoon. Sounds like I was making it more complicated in my head than it needed to be, so I'm very glad I asked first!

Very cool table runner.. I really love that coffee cup square.. . Where did you get that pattern?? I would love to get it myself!
