autumn table runner #1

i'm in love with the saltbox harvest fabric!  i purchased a charm pack and decided that i needed a table runner(or two!).  i have found that the missouri star quilt company has some of the best tutorials around.  marie told me about the "quilt as you go" method, and i knew i needed to give it a try!

instead of using strips of fabric, i chose to sew three squares together.
after you have everything nice and trimmed, all you have to do is bind!  this was such a quick and easy project to bust out in time for thanksgiving!
i'm almost finished with another one.  its laid out a little differently than this one...and i went with regular quilting instead.  i'll post it as soon as i'm finished!

  2. Love this, Tina! I've never tried the "quilt as you go" method, but I've heard a lot about it. Sounds like I need to give it a try. Thanks for the link.

    I LOVE the Saltbox Harvest fabric, too. I've used it this fall to make a pillow and a table runner. Check them out if you get a chance.
