    Default Nutcracker Ballet-tablerunner

    saw this fabric-border and I knew exactly what I wanted to make! This is a Triangle Frenzy pattern. I cut 8" strips and the runner is 46". Perfect size for our coffee table. Now, to quilt it.

    the fabric is from Paintbrush Studios and it is a metallic. Too bad the photo does not due it justice.

    Actually, once you decide on the border print and what size lengthwise strip to cut, heightwise, you just use a 60 degree ruler and start cutting the triangles. I use Creative Grid rulers. Goes together quickly.

    How cute is that! It looks like the nutcrackers are marching in formation.
