#Fall table runner Patch#

Use four blocks in a square for a fast table topper. Use just three blocks for a shorter table topper. Quick and easy!! You can make them different lengths by the number of leaf blocks you use. See my tutorial on Binding a Quilt for specific directions on joining pieces, attaching to the quilt, and making perfect corners. Cut the binding 2-1/2 inches wide, join pieces as needed to get the total length you need.

I used a straight-of-grain binding on this runner as it will not get a lot of stress on the edges, and it saved fabric. This runner is small enough to do easily on a domestic machine. A print that contains the colors of your leaves will look the best, however you can also use one of the leaf prints. Mine is approximately 3 inches in width before sewing for this cute border print. Place finished blocks end to end, varying the placement of the stem. If you cut all your pieces at once, you can assemble them by chain piecing. Sew in rows, pressing seams opposite to nest them. Ignore the measurements in this picture, I forgot to take one of the larger stem. Square up the stem block to 4-1/2 inches by aligning the diagonal color strip on the 45-degree line. Place on either side of the color strip, aligning the points to help center both triangles. Cut on the line and press open.Д¬ut the 6-inch background square in half diagonally. Pair with the same size color squares and sew 1/4 inch away from your drawn line.

To begin, make the half-square triangles by drawing lines diagonally on the back of the 5-inch squares. One strip 1-inch wide by 8-1/2 inches longД«order and Binding вЂ“ about 1/2 yard of fabric Putting five of them together with a border makes a quick and easy, seasonal table runner.

Essentially it is just a nine patch block of squares, with a few half square triangles and a stem.

It is a really easy block to make, and can be done in different sizes as needed. The maple leaf block is a classic block, perfect for the autumn season.
