Fantastic Job :mrgreen: Will have to find the time to try one :roll:

Pretty! The tube method is certainly a hit on the board. Everyone will have one for Christmas!
|
Just beautiful! :-) What is the runner measurements?
Can you tell me how many strip sets the table runners take? How long were your strips? Thanks so much, I need a few more Xmas presents and this would be perfect. :D I need some quick projects. :wink: |
That is beautiful....I LOVE IT..

Question.. Does anyone know how wide you can make the Strips ? I would like to try and make bigger for a quilt .
|
You can take a square piece of paper and cut it in half diagonally for any sized template, if you do not have a square ruler that is the right size :wink:
|
Riversong,
Isn't tubing fun and easy? Even I got most of the points right on. Your runner is lovely and festive. Great job. |
I dont remember how many i cut. Check the tute,she tells how many you can get from a set.
|
You can make the strips any size.
The square will grow, depending on the size of the original two strips. 2.5" strips will probably produce a square that would measure 4 and 5/8ths inch. If you want to make a bigger block, then try cutting beginning four inch strips ... the resulting 2-strip piece would measure 7.5" ... finished size of the square would be 6.75" give or take an eighth of an inch ... The table topper is terrific, too! Good show! <wave> |
I love this table runner and thanks for posting the suggestsed measurements too. I know I have some Christmas fabric... somewhere... and might have a go this week.

That is a pretty runner.
I have to try this tube method...perhaps I'll get time over this weekend. ranger |
Beautiful job.
|
Are instructions available for the tube method table runner?
|
|
Very pretty. Great job.
|
Truly beautiful but I am totally in the dark about tube quilting. What is it and how do you do it? Is there a tutorial?

Here's yet another table runner using the tube method. I love seeing all the different possibilites with this easy block. Thanks to whoever started us on the Missouri Quilt Co. website. I plan to use this pattern a lot in 2010!
|
Love it!!
|
This is fast as fast can be BUT did anybody else have trouble with all those bis edges stretching????? I think i would rather do HST's... GREAT method tho' ....
|
I meant BIAS edges.... (I just invented a new quilting term lol!)

Sewing bias edges is a good time to learn to let go of control issues. It is one of those times when you GUIDE the fabric rather than WRESTLING it to keep it in line ... a light hand, and you will have not problems with either type of edge. <wave> cute, though ... I didn't catch it until you pointed it out. LOL |

the quilt in my avatar is "Strip Twist" mentioned here awhile back.(check the SEARCH) It is all done in strips. I sew-d, THEN cut. Very easy, VERY effective with lots of colors and NO BIAS. I'll try to stop wrestling my bias strips. Some of my squares weren't the same size (how did THAT happen??) so I was REALLY thankful for some of that streeeeeetch.....

i love it!

You are correct ... stretch can be our friend <g> ... sometimes, I am just underwhelmed with how inaccurate my best rotary cutting turns out :? On the other hand, since not being perfect means I get to practice my art more, it can't all be a bad thing, eh? 8-) |
Wow this is so pretty. Love it!!
|
Really LOVE this runner! Will have to try the tube quilting some time. Yours is the prettiest I've seen yet! :thumbup: :thumbup:
