Your spiral runner is beautiful. I am confused about your binding. Do you put both sides together (rs together), sew all around (leave opening), turn right side out, hand stitch the opening? I thought a separate binding was needed, but by looking at yours...not so.
I like yours better because it would be difficult to find one fabric that would look good with all the fabrics in the two sides.
Do I have this right???

To all of you and to JanetM in particular: Thanks so much for your lovely comments on the table runner!! A separate binding would be very difficult to do, not only because of color choice, but because of the narrow almost-pointed ends, so I do an "envelope turn" (right sides together, stitch all around leaving an opening of 4 - 6 inches, then turning it out and hand-stitching the opening closed) and then after gently pressing it and coaxing all the edges out, I machine-stitch all around about a half-inch or so from the edge - I use a quilting needle, and the width of my walking foot is my guide to keep the stitching even.
I also found the directions intimidating and have a few tips and tricks I could share if anyone wants to PM me. Not sure I can give this one away because I like it so much myself!!

Your spiral table runner is beautiful and I love the fact that it is reversible. From the other post I am reading the pattern is out of print would you or possible someone else be willing to sell me their pattern?
