This table runner used 8 fabrics from light to dark. A strata was made using 1 1/2" strips. I then used my square ruler to measure diagonally for a large triange and a small triangle. The runner was not hard to make at all, and I am a beginner.

beautiful

Love it, and who would ever guess you are a beginner? thanks for sharing your work, you really did a fantastic job on this.

I like it. Great effect.

Very pretty!

Wow that is great well done Carol. :thumbup: :D

Nice job,

You're a beginner????????? No WAY! Great job, and love your fabrics, too!

That is very pretty, love those colors!

Very nice !!

Wow! That looks awesome! I may have to try this one. Thanks for sharing!

Love it...very pretty!

Not hard huh, I've got the pattern I'll have to try it.

I bookmarked this one!!! I like it very much.
You have done a wonderful job.

Great job!

Nancy, when you get ready to make the pattern, make sure that your strips are exactly 1 1/2" cut and when you sew your strips together you really do need accurate 1/4" seams. I spray starched the strata really good and made sure it was exactly 8 1/2" wide before cutting the triangle pieces. If you have any questions before you cut your pieces feel free to contact me here. The spray starched fabric made it really easy to cut.

I also made this table runner in a rainbow of colors using the Michael Miller Fairy Frost fabric. It turned out really neat...I'm binding the quilt with yellow Fairy Frost this weekend at my quilt retreat. I will post a pic of it next week.

not hard huh/i have the pattern too,and i have thrown fabric away three times,trying to make one ,you did a great job

Wow!

Wonderful. Would you share how you got your center to lie so nice and flat?

Very nice and very interesting pattern.Great job you did and your first,too.

Som, where do you think you had the problem with the pattern? I'm sorry to hear you had to throw fabric away 3 times. If I lived closer I could help you. My instructions were typed out by someone as I had taken the class on how to do it. If you would like a copy of my instructions I could always send them to you. This table runner can me made in a day.

Good job for a beginner. Love the color chose. Thanks for sharing.

So pretty! I really like those fabrics :D:D:D

Beautiful!

This is beautiful. I would like to try my hands at this. Where did you find the pattern, or is this your own design?

This is not my own design. There is a pattern for it. However, my instructions were printed out by the gal who taught the class to us. It really is not hard to do. If interested, let me know and maybe I can mail you the instructions I have.

I believe I just sewed just shy of edge of seam. I think I closed it up flat when the two halves were put together. I really didn't have trouble keeping the center connections flat.
