Craftybear - Love your table runner - pretty colors. I just learned yesterday how to do the tube quilting - on this forum (love the forum)and really liked it. I'm NEW to quilting and thought this looked pretty easy. Last night I grabbed some scraps and made a block and LOVED it - can't quit looking at it - LOL. First problem - I love the color combination but it was scraps that I had from a class I took and I don't have any more. I want to go to Joann's and see if they still have it so I can make a table runner. Second problem. I don't know how to "set it in points" (don't know if I'm saying that right) like you did. I had planned to just put three blocks together "square" but I like the way you did them. Can you help me or point me in the right direction to learn how to do that? Thanks ever so much!

Oh - DUH!!!! I was pictureing my block as square - just went to the sewing room and looked at it - double duh - the only way it can go is at point. Like I said - I'm a newbee - but I'll learn!

:thumbup: Whoopee - I did it! I "think" I am posting my first try a tube quilting. Can't wait to get material to make a table runner. Can someone tell me (new quilter here) how much fabric I would need to buy to make a table runner with 3 blocks and to add a 3" border, plus the backing and binding. I'd sure appreciate it.
