Strip ‘n Stitch Free Table Runner

Hey quilting friends!

I have been looking for a way to use up some leftover scraps from my stash! What better way than with a small project like a table runner? Needing some quiltspiration, I headed over to Pinterest! There is such a plethora of information and knowledge on that app! Did you know it is a actually a search engine, not a social media outlet? I mainly use it for quilts and recipes.

I knew I wanted this pattern to be fast and simple; a project that would take less than 2 hours to build, from cut to finish. Next, I analyzed my stash leftovers to see what types of scraps I had the most of that matched. Once in a while I enjoy scrappy projects if the scraps all come from the same line of fabric or different lines from the same designer, like Bonnie and Camille. Digging through my stash, I found quite a few leftover 5 in. squares from the fabric line Nocturnal for Moda. I also had a basic white on white swiss dot that I could utilize for the background fabric. You can download a copy of the Strip ‘n Stitch table runner here Strip n Stitch Runner Free.

It’s Strip ‘n Stitch time!

Material Requirements

To make this runner, you will need (37) 2.5 in. x 5 in. print rectangles, (4) 2.5 in. x WOF background strips, and (2) 2.5 in. x 22 in. background rectangles.

Time to Sew!

Assembling this runner is very fast and east! Sew together (18) 2.5 in. x 5 in. print rectangles along the long sides. Then, sew together (8) 2.5 in. x 5 in. print rectangles along the short end. Make (2) strips. Next, sew a 2.5 in. x WOF background strip to each side, trim off the excess.  Sew those units to each side of the (18) 2.5 in. x 5 in. strip. Finally, sew the 2.5 in. x 22 in. background strips to the top and bottom!

Quilt and bind as desired! I love to shop at Urban Elementz for quilting designs. I hope you enjoyed making this Strip ‘n Stitch Free Table Runner as much as I did! Don’t forget to show off your creations on social media and tag @yellow_umbrella_quilts!
