I love your table runner. Isn't it funny how they say 10 minutes and there's no way you can even cut the pieces in 10 minutes?

I think they must mean AFTER you cut the fabric! Maybe in a few years I can do the 10-20 minute items in the time they say it takes to do them.
Also wanted to say beautiful runner and also LOVE the cupcake buttons. :)

I cut the batting 12 1/2" by width of fabric, and loosely hand basted it to the backing, just to hold it in place during stitching and turning. I removed the basting stitches once I started quilting it. This worked pretty well, except the pointed ends are a little bulky, due to 2 layer of batting being stitched at that point (hence, the heavier quilting). I think spray basting would work well, and maybe trimming the batting to a point at the ends before turning.
