Fussy cut the boots into squares if you have enough fabric. Then create your favorite block in that size in red, white and blue to complement it. Add a border then Voila you have a table runner. Did this for a baby quilt. I substituted fussy cut sheep fabric for the white squares. I didn’t worry if there were parts of sheep around the edge of the square, just that the center of it was pleasing to the eye.

I would do a red/white/blue block in the center and then have the boots going in the correct directions off both sides. You could do a very simple block or, if you felt the urge, a start block. Then either just bind or do a small border around the whole thing.

I'm with the people that say keep the boot print large, it's a fantastic piece. I like the idea of a churn dash, but I think I'd be making something more like a simple star blocks out of red, white and blue prints with the boots in the center. I'd alternate the red and blue stars, you can even put in white spacers for more length.

The 10 minute table runner would showcase your fabric without cutting into it.
