sounds like you are talking about the reversable table runner- start with a 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle in the center- then 3 1/2"X 9 1/2" strips- start with placing a strip on each long side of the rectangle- then alternating each strip off set by the 3 1/2" in a brade fashion- for the length you want.
it is best to keep it layed out- as you sew each strip take it back, lay it down and pick up the next strip- to keep them correct.
when it is all sewed together you lay down your batting- backing right side up on top of batting- top you just pieced right side down *facing the backing* pin at each point and inside point.
stitch around it 1/4" seam leaving an opening for turning right side out-
clip the corners off the outter points- clip into each inside point to the stitch line- turn right side out- poke out each point- press flat-
stitch opening closed-
then top stitch all the way around-
you can (quilt) stitch in the ditch of the strips if you want to.
