THIS IS A VERY EASY AND QUICK PATTERN TO DO. ONCE YOU HAVE THE FIRST ONE DONE YOU WILL WANT TO PICK OUT CO ORDINATING FABRICS FROM YOUR STASH TO MAKE MORE. I HAVE MADE ABOUT TEN ALL DIFFERENT COLOURS AND SOME CHRISTMAS ONES. NEVER THOUGHT I COULD THEM BUT THEY GO TOGETHER SO QUICKLY. WHEN I BOUGHT MY RULER FROM PHILIPS I GOT PATTERN FOR SPICY RUNNER AND ALSO FREE ANGEL PATTERN.

I know, I am so excited, I am now sewing them togethe and I can see how nice it will be. I didn't get the angel pattern, just a picture of it. Does it look easy? I thought it looked neat.

Alex Anderson's site had put clear nail polish on the edges and sprinkled salt to keep the ruler from moving around

Start with the smallest ones. Sew together matching the widest ends.

I'm pretty sure you match the NARROW ends, not the wide ends. I've made three of these so far, and that's what I did.

Wendy,
Thank you sew much for that correction. I talked to BusyGranny and she is matching the narrow ends. Ouch! That's what happens when I try to talk from memory. I'm so glad that you mentioned that here. I'm also glad that BusyGranny looked at the pattern before she started sewing. I made two of these runners and they came out real good. I just spoke without checking first.
Thanks, again.

So now its rip, rip, rip!!!NOw I have learned, they have to be oposite ways. Oh well. So it goes. But thanks so much to KathieAire for personal interst in my project and got me on the right track.
