Fall Gatherings Table Runner Tutorial
The Fall Gatherings table runner is made using one simple quilt block that includes half square triangle blocks and square on point blocks.
There are 3 blocks using 2 different colorways. I think you will enjoy this.
The Fall Gatherings table runner is 12″ x 36″
Fall Gatherings Batiks
I am using the beautiful Fall Gatherings fat quarter collection from Island Batik that I used to make my Harvest Hues quilt.
You can find the bundle at Fat Quarter Shop.
This collection is available at Missouri Star Quilt Co. Just search for Island Batik or Fat Quarter Bundle to find it. Use the link below.
Sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Quilt Block A
Each quilt block is a 12½” unfinished block made up of 4 rows.
This is the center block in the table runner, you’ll make (1) like this.
Quilt Block B
You will make (2) blocks like this.
AccuQuilt 12 Inch Qube
I used my AccuQuilt 12 inch Qube dies and my GO! Big Electric cutter to make my quilt blocks. If you have trouble cutting blocks, the electric cutter is the best thing to have.
I used the following dies for my table runner.
- GO! Half Square Triangle-3″ Finished Square (55703) (Shape 5)
- GO! Square on Point-4 3/4″ (4 1/4″ Finished) (55725) (Shape 6)
- GO! Square-3 1/2″ (3″ Finished) (55701) (Shape 2)
Batik Fabrics Needed
- (1) Fat Quarter – Yellow
- (1) Fat Quarter – Green
- (1) Fat Quarter – Brown, I used (2) Browns but (1) is enough for all the browns
- (1) Fat Quarter – Orange
- (1) Fat Quarter – White
- Backing and batting 1/2 yard each
- Binding – (2) 2½” strips the width of fabric – 1/4 yard
Rotary Cut Your Quilt Blocks
If you don’t have an AccuQuilt cutter and dies, I have the instructions to rotary cut your pieces.
- Place the light fabric 3 7/8″ square on top of the dark fabric 3 7/8″ square.
- Mark a line diagonally down the center and stitch 1/4″ on both sides.
- Cut on the center line, press to the dark fabric.
- Trim your block to the correct size using a ruler.
- Your half square triangle blocks should measure 3 1/2″ square.
Cutting Block A
The following cutting sizes are for rotary cutting. If you are using the AccuQuilt dies, cut your fabric big enough to cover the die cuts.
- Green – cut (1) 4 3/4″ square (center)
- Green – cut (4) 3 1/2″ squares
- Brown – cut (3) 3 7/8″ squares – (1) will be cut in half and used for center

Make Your Half Square Triangles
The pieces shown below were cut with my AccuQuilt cutter which cuts off the tips of the half square triangles to make it very easy to accurately piece.
Block B Make Your Square On Point Sections
Here are the pieces you need for the center square on point block.
Sew 2 half square triangles to 2 sides. Press to the center. Next add the other 2 sides.
Block A Make Your Square On Point Sections

Tudo muito lindo!
Estou apaixonada pelos tecidos.
Hoje na minha cidade está quente, estamos chegando na primavera.
A umidade do ar está baixa. Estou numa tosse alérgica terrível.
It turned out beautiful. I’m just not ready to think about fall yet..
Thank you Robyn! You are in your fall/winter season and this would be perfect for you!
Another amazing design that uses Batiks with brilliance.
The fall colours are gorgeous. Other colour combinations would also be stunning.
Thanks, Connie, for the tutorial and your ongoing support of the patchwork community.
I always thought I was a summer girl – but this is soooo beautiful. Stunning really. And your directions are great (as always). Batik really take this to another level! Thanks!
Thanks Joan, I have several color groups that are my favorite and this is one of them!
Gorgeous runner, Connie! I have some fall batiks in a stash somewhere…this could be the perfect pattern for them!
Thanks Kathleen, I hope you make it!
Another beautiful creation by Connie. I love the colors in this collection and have previously ordered it from MSQC using your link. I’ve place a couple of orders using your link. Thank you, as it’s a great savings in today’s economics and prices for fabric! Good fabric that used to be $5/yd is now $13/yd just within the last few years.
Thank you for using my link Beverly, it is always great to get a discount on quilt fabrics!
