Quilting the
Only Spooling Around
table runner
No foolin’ — our spooling, stylin’ runner is almost finished!
Attach sashing strips between each spool block.
I used two colors for the center “thread” on the spool block, so I
alternated colors.
Cut six (6) sashing strips, 2" x 8 1⁄2". Attach sashing vertically
between each block of the table runner. Press with steam.
Along the width of fabric, cut two 11⁄2" strips. (I found it easier to
tear these two strips.) Attach the strips along the entire length
of the runner. Press the seam toward the center.
Cut two pieces of fabric, 101⁄2" x 14". Attach these to either end of
the runner. Press the seam allowance open.
While the the Studio Collection Home Hobby and Design Table
from H.A. Kidd offers a very long cutting and design surface, the
same can’t be said for my stash of batting.
I didn’t have a long enough piece of batting, so I attached the
extra bit using the zigzag stitch as shown in Elaine Theriault’s
earlier post on QUILTsocial.
It’s easier to tear the long border strip than to cut it.
Echo quilt the spool on the table runner.
Use binding clips to attach the binding to the table runner.
