You Can Make a Quilt - Start with a Tablerunner

Start With a Charm Pack!

Charm packs are collections of 5" x 5" squares of fabric produced by Moda Fabrics. The popularity of Charm Packs and other 5" square precuts stem from the fact they are affordable, easy to use, and a size commonly used in quilting.  I got my definition from the Fat Quarter Shop.  They are a great online fabric store that has a lot of fun videos, tutorials and quilt making info.

I like precuts because you don't have to decide on one fabric, you get lots of little fabrics and they all work together nicely!

Sew, Cut, Cut, Sew!

  • Sew all your 5x5 squares together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
  • Cut them into 18" strips.  Make yours wider or shorter depending on how wide you want your tablerunner.
  • Cut the strips in half.
  • Sew a solid strip between each row.  I cut these 2 1/2 inches wide and used a beautiful red by Peppered Cotton in the color Garnet.  (I love me some Peppered Cotton; they are so soft and have a lovely two-tone effect.)
Quilt Backing

Finish Your Tablerunner

Layer the top, batting and backing, quilt it and add the binding - you're done!
Ribbon Quilting

The Quilting

I quilted my tablerunner using straight lines 1/4 inch along each side of the solid fabric and a ribbon motif in each row. You could easily do this type of quilting on your domestic sewing machine; a tablerunner is much easier to manage.
