Island Batik Coastal Mist Table Runner

Finished size 11″ x 31″

Quilted table runners are one of my favorite quilt projects to make! This table runner is very easy to make and I have included directions to make this using the AccuQuilt GO! dies or by rotary cutting. Enjoy!

Earlier this month I shared a tutorial for the Island Batik Coastal Mist table runner on the AccuQuilt blog.

This was very easy to make with the AccuQuilt GO! 6″ Qube set and I used a strip set (jelly roll) called Coastal Mist from Island Batik for the blocks in this table runner.

• GO! FABRIC CUTTER:you can use all of them
  • GO! Baby Fabric Cutter (55600)
  • GO! Fabric Cutter (55100S)
  • GO! Big Electric Fabric Cutter (55500)

GO! Cutting Dies:

• GO! 6″ Qube – dies used #5 Half Square Triangle, #2 Square and #8 Rectangle
• GO! 6″ Qube Companion – die used #9 Chisel
• GO! #55164 – 1″, 1 1/2″ and 2″ Strip Cutter

Fabric:

• 1/2 yard cream batik for back ground and sashing, one Strip set or Jelly roll – you could also use 4 fat quarters
• 1/2 yard medium teal batik (this includes the binding and backing)

I am using batik fabrics from Island Batik, from the Coastal Mist collection. The wonderful thing about using batiks is that both sides look the same.

• Sew with a 1/4″ seam allowance.
• Follow the diagram below to help piece your blocks.
• It is so easy to match the pieces with the dog-eared corners.

If you are using a strip set – it should have two 2 1/2 inch strips of each color needed. Choose 4 complementary colors. The 2 1/2 inch strips will easily fit on the dies.

Cutting the block pieces:

• Cream: Cut a 4 1/2″ strip the width of fabric – cut 12 – #8 rectangles and 12 – #2 squares.
• Rotary cutting – Cut 12 – 2″ x 3 ½” rectangles and 12 – 2″ squares.

• Teal print one – Cut 8 – #9 chisels.
• Rotary cutting – Teal print one – Cut 8 – 2″ x 3 ½” rectangles.
• Teal print two – Cut 4 – #5 half square triangles and 8 – #8 rectangles.
• Rotary cutting – Teal print two – Cut 4 – 2″ squares and 8 – 2″ x 3 ½” rectangles.
• Plum print one – Cut 4 – #9 chisels.
• Rotary cutting – Plum print one – Cut 4 – 2″ x 3 ½” rectangles.
• Plum print two – Cut 8 – #5 half square triangles and 16 – #8 rectangles.
• Rotary cutting – Plum print two – Cut 8 – 2″ squares and 16 – 2″ x 3 ½” rectangles.

When using the #8 rectangle die and the 2 1/2 strips, carefully lay the fabric over just one of the rectangles on the die.

Rotary cutting – place the 2″ square on the top of the 2″ x 3 ½”rectangle, stitch diagonally and trim.

The following diagrams show you how to piece the block sections together adding a half square triangle to each chisel piece.

Add the cream #8 rectangles to each completed piece.

Each block is made from four sections. Sew them together. Each block will measure 6 1/2 inches.

Add a border using 4 – cream squares and 8 – rectangles.

The table runner uses 3 blocks. They should measure 9 1/2 inches.

Cutting the block borders:

• Cream: Cut 3 – 1 ½” strips the width of fabric using the #55164 strip cutter.
• Sub-cut 4 – 1 ½” x 9 1/2″ strips.
• Sew 2 of these to the center block and 1 to each of the other blocks.
• Sub-cut 2 – 1 ½” x 31″ strips for the top and bottom.

• Layer your backing and batting – quilt as desired.
• I did free motion stipple quilting using Aurifil thread in a cream color.
• Cut your binding strips 2 ½” using the AccuQuilt GO! #55017 2 1/2″ Strip Cutter die.
• Join the strips, press in half and sew to the front of the quilt.
• Finish your binding by machine or by hand.

Here is a closeup of how I quilted the center of the blocks. All of my piecing and quilting was done with Aurifil thread.

It makes the center of the blocks look like flowers.
