I did something comparable with placemats for my 2nd quilting project (1st one was a SID table runner from JAF's BOM). I don't really think doing lines every 1/2" is any more difficult than doing lines every 2", but maybe that's just my personal experience. The nice thing about table runners is that you have very flat batting so when combined with a Walking Foot, the movement is very similar to piecing -- which she's clearly quite skilled at!
