Table runner
#2
Use a strip tube method. Take 8-2.5" strips, sew them in pairs, place them right sides together in sets of 2, stich each outer edge. You will have 2 sets of 4 strips. Then take a ruler, use the 45ēmark, line it on the bottom line of stitching and cut at an angle. You will flip the ruler back and forth, cutting triangles. You wil have 8 from each set, 16 total. Open up the triangles and you will have squares. Sew 4 squares together, matching the centers of 4 tri's. You will end up with 4 blocks, makes a nice sized table runner. Missouri Star Quilt company has a great tute on this.

You can't beat the 10-minute table runner for speed--and if you get good fabrics, for looks. But you can also take just about any three blocks and put together with sashing and borders. One of my favorites is made of two blocks (easy pumpkins) joined by a strip of fabric the same width, borders and triangle on the edge. (You can find oodles of ideas by googling "table runner patterns) or "table runner tutorial" or "free table runner patterns."

You can make this very simple or elegant. I made some extra long using brocade (old drapes at Salvation Army) and added fancy tassels at each end and they sold as soon as they were laid out on our guild sale table.
