Love you tablerunner! You don't have to put batting in it if you don't want to. I love Hobbs 80/20 fusible quilt batt in my tablerunners and placemats. I did the same pattern that you used but ironed a full backing piece to the back of my batt. I then ironed the square centered in the middle. I attached the strips in the sew and flip method (ironing out each strip) thereby quilting it to the back as I went. When it was finished, I trimmed the whole tablerunner edge and added binding.

Thank you QB members. I saw a tutorial on this board and attempted it. I like it but have a question ..
If I use batting under the top, won't it be soft? Thick quilting is beyond my capabilities!
I want to place tall candle stands on it, so would batting be a wrong choice? If so, what should I use between the top and the back?
I would appreciate any advice you have for me.
Thanks!

I'm 65 and have been sewing over 55 of those years. My seam ripper is still my best buddy!
