    If it is already quilted, you can do a facing. You will need to cut strips the width of the outside triangles that are beyond the edge with about an inch extra. Sew the strips to each edge following the zig zags, clip and trim and turn the strips to the back. You then hand stitch the raw edges under to the back of the runner. Look for a video on doing quilt "facings."

    Just a thought. If you decide to make another tablerunner like this one, you may want to do 'Prairie Points' for the edging. The points will be complete when you add them to the top and it will be a lot easier to finish this way. Just a thought. I like it, like the bright colours, very summery. Thank you for sharing.

    You can bind this but you will definately want to use bias cut binding. There's a tute somewhere that would help you. I'll see if I can find it for you.

    I think the easiest way now is to tuck-iron and sew. Use a blanket binding stitch and hopefully it won't ripple.

    Janie, Since you have already quilted this runner, you might want to watch this video as I think this is what you probably can do at this point. It looks fairly straightforward although a bit tedious but since your piece is a table runner and therefore not too big, it might work for you. Good luck with your very cheery runner! I could have used that on my table in February when it was so dreary.

    I would do it with bias binding as it would allow more give going around the points. Have done one table runner that had curved and pointed pieces and it worked fine with that.

    Me too! I was thinking if you were careful you could quilt it after it was turned.
