I made the same table runner with fall colors and decided to practice with my decorative stitches. I quilted in the ditch with a straight stitch then used a contrasting thread in the light strips and used a leaf stitch.

If you are new to quilting you will love this board! lots of great people and great information on here. Everyone is willing to share tips and photos. I personally took the phrase 'quilt as desired' to mean 'send to long-arm quilter who knows what they're doing!' :-) I am fairly new here too and am completely addicted!

I have done that runner. I printed off a big star, cut my paper the same size as the center square and pinned it there then sewed through the paper following the star outline. I used a contrasting thread ended up with a quilted star outline in the center block. Stitch in the ditch for the remainder of the runner.

Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions, especially Quilting D
