2 sided End Zone Table Runner
Our 11 yr. old grandson is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, and the whole family are Chicago Bears fans, living in N. Illinois.
When I saw this pattern and video on MSQC I had to give it a try and make it two sided. The biggest challenge was getting it lined up perfectly when I spray basted them back-to-back with 80/20 sandwiched in between. The biggest time consuming task was tracing, cutting and appliqueing all the yard lines for BOTH sides with a buttonhole stitch. After a cold water wash on a heavy duty setting and a extra low drying cycle, with a large towel, for extra friction, the chenille tape really fluffed up as advertised. Here is the end result, which I hope they love.
The table runner measures finished at approx. 22" x 57".

Toogie: I cut each strip 21" and there are 11 strips, so a little over 19 ft. of chenille tape. I had plenty from the roll after doing two sides. I used Kona Clover as suggested, and found it at my local quilt shop.
