The name is 10 minute table runner, but it took me 35 min. cutting, sewing, pressing, and putting in the batting. Some of you more seasoned quilters/sewer can probably do it in 10 minutes.
1 pc. fabric wof X 18 inches 1 pc. fabric wof x 12 inches batting 18x45 see the photos below. sew the length of the fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]129465[/ATTACH] sew length of fabric on the other side [ATTACH=CONFIG]129469[/ATTACH] contrasting fabrics [ATTACH=CONFIG]129558[/ATTACH] |

to continue
now you have made a tube [ATTACH=CONFIG]129553[/ATTACH] press so that there are equal borders created by the backing on each side [ATTACH=CONFIG]129554[/ATTACH] Now is the time to put in your batting. put back side together and sew [ATTACH=CONFIG]129557[/ATTACH] |

you are nearly done.
Next time I am going to cut the center just 9 inches so that I have more border showing. You can create yours any size you want. I am making 8 for my neighbors for Christmas and will do just simple quilting. They will all be in Christmas fabrics. after sewing the ends, a point is formed. turn and press. [ATTACH=CONFIG]129559[/ATTACH] This is the sample so I have not quilted it yet. You can do all kinds of things with this, like adding piping, rick-rack in the side seams, patch work in the middle, etc. [ATTACH=CONFIG]129560[/ATTACH] |
Thank you for sharing with us :D:D:D

It took you longer cause you took the time for pictures! thanks for the great tute and I'm sure they will go faster with the next 7,6,5,4,3,2,..1 YEA done
|
thanks - Christmas fabrics here I come!
|
Great tute! My LQS made them, but they didn't put batting inside.
|
I've made several of these The pattern doesn't all for batting.
|
Very pretty............thanks for sharing
The pattern I have is: Center fabric 10" Border fabric 20" no batting. |
Some orphan blocks would look great on the top piece...
|
Thank you - that made sense to me!

THANKS FOR THE TUTE....
I think I need (want) to make some of these........ bopeep |
thanks for the tutorial
|
Thank you so much for the tute. I am excited to try.
|
Thanks for the tute. You're right - great Christmas presents. Will definitely be making some of these.
|
Have never made one of these before - but think I see a project to tinker with today - thank you for the tutorial shots. :-)

Thank you for posting, very nice!
|
I made several of these table runners, and plan to make more for Christmas gifts. The pattern I used (a kit)didn't ask for the batting and it works just as well. Then you really can do it in 10 minutes. I love these quickie ideas for gifts.

"put back side together and sew" I got lost at this point. Perhaps I'll just have to follow the first steps then I will see what happens. I can't figure out how two pieces of a rectangle form points on the end. What am I missing?
|
Same here....

Pretty runner. We;re still wondering

love this pattern. I used flannel instead of batting for a lower loft. Keeps the point from getting so "fat". Can't figure out how to post a picture in this note or I would.
|
My quilt shop gave me 5 listed instructions, and I could not figure it out :-(
but found the online one and really helped. Oh, if you goggle 10 minute table runner a bunch will be listed.....Go though them and find the one you need....That's what I did.... |
Cute!!
|
Karen, thank you for your picture. I now find it very clear how the points are formed. I could not tell it from other pictures I have seen. I an a VERY visual person. Printed instructions seem to confuse me for some reason. LOL
|
thank you for pattern
|
what a way to go!! thanks for the tip!
|
Hi everyone, I am brand new to the forum. I really like this tablerunner tut, even I, as challenged as I am, can make it! Wondering tho, if you wanted to add batting, did you just slip that in the tube after sewing together? Thanks again for the tutorial. I made some placemats to match by cutting the tube in half.

Thanks for the instructions. This is my first one but I plan to make a few more for gifts
|
I don,t mean to be a dummy, but how do you get the batting into the tube? I know I must be missing a very important and very evident step but...I have all the material cut and am just waiting for the light to go on so that I can get the batting in... Thanks
|
I just made this with batting. When you're putting it together - before you sew - lay the backing right side up on a table. Put the top right side down on the backing - lining up the ends and one side. Cut the batting the size of the top. Place the batting on the top (I spray basted mine.) Pin the long side together. Then pin the other long side AFTER you have lined it up. Sew the two long sides to make a tube, then turn inside out. I had to trim the batting on the short sides before I folded them down and sewed them.
Make sense? |
Thank you very much....sometimes the old brain just shuts down in protest...got it now..have a wonderful Christmas season.

Here's my first table runner and I know it won't be the last. Thanks so much for the tute!
For the first time I felt like I was using a "Stash". I picked up several $1 Fat Quarters at the Houston Quilt Show - that's what I pieced the center with. The backing/border is material from Wal-mart that I'd picked up just because I thought I could use it sometime. I just knew it was for a gift - undetermined person. Turns out the undetermined owner is ... me! I'm having piano students come over for a Piano Party tomorrow and Wednesday. We'll practice performing, eat some cookies, then go to a local nursing home and play for the residents as they wait for dinner. That runner looks great on MY table! (It's on the piano bench for the picture - not gonna sit on my lovely creation!) |
Very nice! & thank you for sharing your music at the nursing home.
|
I would say exactly what Pat said, very pretty tablerunner and thank you for sharing your music at the care center. Have any of you seen this You Tube video? Here is a link, enjoy.
