Runner tutorial

I was playing with some blocks yesterday, with some of the
Amy butler scraps I have, thinking I needed a new runner for my table at my house...
I really liked the block, so I wanted to share it with you...
I made two of the above blocks then changed the color arrangements
for a third block for length and to center it...

my runner has 2 blocks with green stars, and one block with a navy star

NOTE:
Directions Below
are for making only one block

Fussy cut 1 -
4 1/2" block for the center (left above block)

from same fabric
Cut 1 - 5 1/4" block and cut criss cross into quarters like the drawing,
this gives you 4 small triangles.

Cut 2 - 4 7/8" block and cut diagonally only

from the same fabric
Cut 1 - 5 1/4"" block and cut criss cross diagonally, as above drawing.
this gives you 4 triangles.

cut 2 - 4 7/8" blocks and cut diagonally

cut 6 - 2 7/8" blocks and cut diagonally

cut 2 - 2 7/8" blocks cut diagonally







this is the layout for the center block

I sewn these three squares together...
then I added a 4" X 12.5" strip on each end of a matching fabric,

Now it's ready for backing, batting and quilting...

Hopefully I'll get mine quilted and ready for binding today...
Have fun!
