Valentine Table Runner Tutorial
I have a fast and easy Valentine table runner tutorial to share with you today!
Valentine Table Runner
Finished size 12″ x 36″
Hi everyone, have another fast and easy table runner for you using the GO! Qube Mix & Match 12” Block set and the applique Feather die. I am really having a lot of fun using the Qube in its handy self-contained storage system.
Materials Needed:
I used batiks from the Island Batik Lavish collection.
Orange – ¼ yard
Light Peach – ¼ yard
Red – ¼ yard – 3 – 2 ½” strips for binding
Backing – 42” x 18”
Batting – 42” x 18”
Small piece of fusible adhesive for applique
I am really enjoying using my AccuQuilt GO! Electric cutter in my new studio and here is what I used to make the table runner. Be sure to visit AccuQuilt’s blog!
GO! Fabric Cutter:
GO! Big Electric Fabric Cutter (55500)
GO! Cutting Dies:
GO! Qube Mix & Match 12” Block (55778)
GO! Feather (55008)
Follow the cutting directions below:
Shape 2: GO! 3″ Finished Square – cut 8 – light peach
Shape 4: GO! Quarter Square Triangle-6″ Finished Square – cut 12 – light peach
Shape 5: GO! Half Square Triangle-3″ Finished Square
Cut 16 – red
Cut 24 – orange
Cut 4 – light peach
Shape 6: GO! Square on Point-4 3/4″ (4 1/4″ Finished) – cut 3 – light peach
Updated: If you don’t have the AccuQuilt GO! dies and cutter, you can still make this using the cutting instructions below.
Block 1 (this is cutting for one block)
Peach
Cut 4 – 3½” squares
Cut 1 – 4 3/4″ square
Cut 4 – 3 7/8″ squares – cut diagonally for HSTs
Orange
Cut 4 – 3 7/8″ squares
Red
Cut 2 – 3 7/8″ squares
Block 2 (this is cutting for one block)
Peach
Cut 8 – 3 7/8″ squares
Orange
Cut 4 – 3 7/8″ squares
Red
Cut 4 – 3 7/8″ squares
Two of the storage systems make a perfect place to do my die cutting.
GO! Feather – Apply your fusible to the fabric and cut 10 – red of the shape shown.
Assembly:
Use a ¼ inch seam allowance throughout and press to the dark side.
Follow the diagram below and piece your blocks making 12 flying geese sections by adding 2 orange half square triangles (5) to each light peach quarter square triangle (4).
Next add 4 red half square triangles (5) to each of the 3 light peach square on point (6).
Make 4 half square triangle blocks with red and the light peach.
Layout each block as shown and sew together. You will make 2 of the first block and 1 of the second.
Finished blocks
Sew the 3 blocks together for your table runner.
Use 2 feather pieces for each heart. Follow the diagram and overlap them to form the heart. Applique the pieces.
Finish by layering your backing, batting and table runner. Quilt as desired and add binding.

I really enjoy your projects. I made piano keys in red with hearts. It’s now on my table. It was quick and easy to machine appliqué. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. It’s so much rewarding to make smaller quilted items in between those large bed quilts! I wanted to send a photo wasn’t sure how!
Interesting thing about color. Red and orange. Nice table runner.
Your Studio looks great – doesn't take long to fill it up! Have decided against the Accuquilt. Probably would not use it to the fullest. I know you are enjoying yours though.
Happy Valentines.
what a great runner
Adorable!!! Another project I want to make.
Such a cute valentines table runner, I love the orange and red together.
Very pretty!
Your table runner is very pretty!
Another lovely finish, Connie! I don't know which one is more beautiful – the one from today or yesterday 🙂
