I'm glad there where some glitches in this train ride I too have never done a table runner, and I'm thinking a Christmas one would be fun to work on. I am doing Aurifil's Designer of the Month Block in Christmas fabrics so this would be a nice addition to have. So I'm aboard and it should be easy to find fabric from the stash I have pulled for the BOM I am already working on. It will probably come out of this group of fabrics.[ATTACH=CONFIG]402064[/ATTACH]

Very nice,m Jacquie.

You should end up with 12 of the A-B 3-1/2" blocks and 12 of the B-C triangle blocks.

I just pulled a cinnamon raisin beer bread out of the oven to share, and there's a slow cooker apple crisp on the go for later. I'm glad you all banned calories from this train!

Connie, thank you so much for the tip on snapping a pic on Ipad. I can't seem to get the hang of this darn thing. On my laptop I just make a word doc but on this Ipad I can highlight, say copy, but when I open doc prog nothing happens. Oh, well maybe anotger day.
I haven't started yet because it is a beautiful spring day here in the south & I had to go play outside.
Think I'll sit with Shadowirish & try her goodies. Lol

I think I am going Christmas with these fabrics, and I found a useful item I am going to use for the HST This shouldn't take long at all.[ATTACH=CONFIG]402120[/ATTACH]

I have an easier way to make those pesky 1/2 square triangles. I use the tube method. I cut a 3" strip of each fabric, put them right sides together, then sewed down each long side using a 1/4" seam allowance. Then I took my companion ruler, which has a 90 deg angle, and put the point of that angle on one of the seam lines, making sure the other seam is straight with the markings, then cut on each side of the 90 deg angle. When I took the "point" apart, and pressed open, I had a 1/2 sq triangle piece that I trimmed to 3-1/2". Some didn't need much trimming, though.
to make the 2nd and succeeding triangles, you flip the ruler over and put it even with the cut edge. then cut another one, etc etc.

I'm still working on the B & C triangular pieces.
