This table runner is a quick-make project and perfect gift for the holidays. The best part is that it is quilted as you piece it and is finished once you sew in your last strip. Use an orphan 8 ½” block for the centre or just make it plain. The strips can vary in width and add a little interest to the project or use left over 2 ½” binding strips. Add decorative stitches in the ditch to add a little bling.
