Mini Table Runner for Independence Day
Yesterday I shared several quilt projects that I have done that are perfect for the 4th of July or Independence Day. This little mini table runner or table mat is so fast and easy to make! I had forgotten about it until I went through my quilt stash and found it.
This is a very simple quilt project to make and just uses just one charm square pack. You’ll also need fabric for the binding and backing. I originally shared this post in July of 2012, it is hard to believe that 6 years have gone by! I have updated it with some new photos and info.
If you decide to make this, you’ll have enough blocks for a bigger tablerunner. I used a 2½” x 5″ charm pack, I don’t think these are available anymore.
Take your charm squares and cut each piece into 1¼” x 5″ strips.
Sew them together in groups of 6.
Trim the pieces to 4¼” squares.
I don’t have any photos of the blocks but for this mini tablerunner before I quilted it.
I made it 4 blocks by 3 blocks and used 72 pieces, you could make this any size you want just by adding more fabrics.
I used a 2.25 inch binding that came from my oldies stash and did a little free motion wiggle quilting on it. The dark blue fabric matched perfectly. 
The mini tablerunner matches my little basket perfectly.
This was a fast project and could also be a great way to use up scraps from your stash. I hope you have enjoyed the 4th of July Table Topper tutorial.

Hi Connie, As always I love your table runner ideas! Thanks for sharing another great tutorial — I’m always looking for ways to use my charm packs 🙂
Hello Connie; I would have had a hard time cutting those pretty fabrics up like you did. Yet, they did make a very nice Table Topper that could be used all year long. It has been such a long time since I have done a strip project such as this, it would be a fun project to do indeed. LOL…stop tempting me with all of these fabulous projects you create! LOL. Thank you so much for sharing all of these great projects and links! Have a great day!
These fabrics are perfect for making this have such a festive feel. Hope you had a spectacular July 4th! Thanks so much for sharing the free tutorial connie!
It’s a nice easy, yet very festive topper.
Another great table runner and tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
