    I made the table runner, and just yesterday I bought fabrics to make a Christmas one.

    The ruler is expensive but I borrowed one from a friend. I was surprized how much I loved making the runner. I've made a few and I need to give the ruler back sometime. If I ever find one cheap, i'll buy it for my self.



    Check out my blogpost where I made my first one.

    This is stunning! Do you have a pattern to sell? I'd love to make one. I have the long wedge ruler set of three and the mini set of three I bought years ago from quilter designer
    Marilyn Doheny. It seems to be popular again. The rulers are much more expensive now then what I paid for them.

    My longest wedge ruler makes a 25" wedge. Is this the size needed for the tablerunner?

    I am wondering, do these rulers need to have markings on them, or is it simply the shape that makes them useful?

    Well, I've registered for the class ($30), will get the ruler (almost $30) and asked them to set aside the same 8 fat quarters that they used for the sample... One expensive table runner!! However, I'm hoping to like doing it well enough to make a few more for gifts. Just such a unique look, so different that my usual rectangular runners.

    I don't think the one from jukebox.com that I linked before will work; it's too short. I could probably line up a regular quilting ruler to get the length I'd need, but what a pain in the neck. At least by taking the class, I get a percentage (10 or 15) off of the supplies I buy.

    Calla Lily Quilt Shop the one place I found the pattern, wants $6.95 shipping to mail the paper pattern. I just mailed a pattern the same size and it was under $2. Now this is one shop I will not be ordering from online.

    Any other shop I can order this pattern?

    Yes, the 25" ruler is the one you need for the spicy spiral table runner.

    This is a quilt top that I made and donated to a local church womens group who hand quilted it and raffled tickets on it. They made over $3,000. I was so proud.

    Here is the link to my blog where I show it, and also the link to the free pattern for it. It's called Nines and Vines.

    I did one recently with no pattern other than what I'd figured out on my own. When I get it back from my quilting instructor, (she borrowed it and my rulers) I'll post some pics.

    I would love if you posted pictures. I would love to have other patterns/ideas to use the long wedge ruler.
