Is this right or am I doing something wrong..Maybe I should just break down and buy the pattern ...Please excuse my messy ironing board ....Thanks
Is this the runner by Arkinson Designs that was a free download for such a long time before it became for sale? In the one that I saw demonstrated at a meeting, there were extra triangles, such as sew this one, discard this one, etc. The discarded triangles were sewn together into candle mats. Some of us used Kaye Woods 60 degree triangle as a template. I see nothing wrong with what you are showing. You can get just so far on "perfect".

I have made a few but gave them away as my table is just like yours*Ü*
I do agree with the others about matching lines as that seems to catch our eyes first.

I agree with the other comments … as long as your design lines up the rest doesn't matter … the outside edge will be covered with binding so it will be "perfect" when quilted and bound. Great fabric choice and beautiful runner!

Whether or not your flowers match depends on the repeat of the particular fabric. You can fussy cut your triangles like you do on a kaleidoscope/stack and whack method and you might get a more palatable match however again it will depend on your fabric repeat. To get the same part of the same flower on both sides of your triangle just doesn't happen hardly ever.

I've made a few of these table runners. It was surprising to me how easy it really did come together. I enjoyed making these.

I think it looks great: the lines match perfectly and the rest will be fine just the way it is. Love the fabric!

I think it is perfect. I just line up the row lines also. You should sign up for the next table runner swap. It would be great for it.
