Table Runner for Summer

One of my quick projects started before going to Kansas City was a table runner. The pattern was a freebie with the purchase of a fabric kit. (It is now available to purchase at your favorite quilt shop.)Take a look at the cool fabric I found to use for summer. Don't you just love the fresh water, boats, and houses? The fabric has four repeats going lengthwise down the piece.




When you use a 60 degree triangle ruler to cut wedges off the end, then you get this design. The leftover wedges can then be made into a table mat or used for the ends of another runner with the design looking in instead of out. This is easy to make and with three more pattern repeats, something else interesting will be coming along.

Since I have several other things to accomplish today, I will sign off for now. Have a great day!
