Peachy Cream Table Runner
This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share a commission.Table runners make great gifts and can also be used in your home to add a touch of color. I just finished the Peachy Cream table runner and I’ll show you how to make it.
Peachy Cream Table Runner
This table runner is made one quilt blocks that consists of 2½-inch strips.
Moda Scrap Bags
I recently purchased four Moda Scrap Bags from the Fat Quarter Shop and three of them had the identical fabrics in them. If you missed my unboxing post and video, here it is.
I ended up with enough of these strips to make a table runner.
Peachy Cream Runner Tutorial
You can use yardage to make this table runner.
Fabric:
- 1/2 yard – Peach print – subcut (6) 2½-inch strips width of fabric
- 1/4 yard – Light Peach – subcut (2) 2½-inch strips width of fabric
- 1/2 yard – Cream – subcut (4) 2½-inch strips width of fabric
- Binding – Cream cut (3) 2½-inch strips width of fabric
Make two sets of each of the strips sets – sew with a 1/4-inch seam allowance and press toward the darkest fabric, a tailor clapper helps set the seams.
Strip Tube Ruler
I used the Cozy Quilt strip tube ruler to cut out my pieces. I have had this ruler for years and it is one of my favorites.
I lined up the ruler to the top of the strip set to get the point. My blocks are 1/4-inch less than the ruler. Cut all of them the same.
Use The 45 Degree Line on Mat Instead
Don’t have that ruler? You can also cut the blocks using your cutting mat or a ruler that has a 45 degree line. Just line up the strip set on the line and cut.
Blocks
Cut (6) blocks from the strips. I was only able to get (5) blocks from a strip which is why I had to make the second set of strips. You will have leftover strips or you could make one more block for a longer table runner.
Bias Edges
Handle carefully when stitching the pieces together as the edges are on the bias and it is easy to stretch your block out of shape.
Sew Blocks Together
Sew the blocks together to make the table runner and arrange them however you like. I turned the center block.
12″ x 34½” Table Runner
I did a simple free motion meandering on the table runner and
Add Binding
Sew (3) 2½-inch cream strips together end to end to make the binding. Add the binding to the front of the table runner, press toward the back and hold in place with Wonder Clips. I always used to use pins but this is so much faster.

I do love to see Rusty, glad he’s doing well. Thank you for the Creamy Peach Runner pics and pattern.
Any backing fabric for the peach runner?
Just fabric of your choice a 1/2 yard would be plenty.
I’m not a peachy (orange) kinda gal but this runner is beautiful! I love the pattern too! Great work as always! Terry 😊💕
Connie,
This is really beautiful!
This runner is so cute and I can,t believe how perfect every single seam matched so perfectly! Sandy
It helps when you press the seams to the darker fabric. Then they will nest when you sew together.
Another really nice design with beautiful colours. My local fabric shop should have fabrics in those tones.
Christmas colours would also look effective for the festive season.
I’m a purple and blue fanatic so that could be an alternative option as well.
Thanks, Connie, for always sharing your latest designs and tips for how to produce a great result.
This is really pretty, Connie. The colors are so nice and the design is great too.
Ooooo, I really like this one, Connie! Pretty colors.
Good job!
Connie,
Another beautiful project showing what can be made with leftover 2.5″ strips or leftover yardage. I have purchased the Moda scrap bags, so will have to find where I put them and try this runner.
Thank you.
Thanks Beverly, I would love to see what was in your Moda Scrap Bags!
Thanks for this pattern Connie. I think it would make a darling wheelchair lap quilt by adding more blocks, besides making a great table runner.
This would be beautiful as a wheelchair lap quilt and you could use a jelly roll for it!
Peaches and Cream – my summer favorite! Looks so cool and I might just have to make this for my dresser. Thanks!!!! Enjoy the cool breezes! We went for a long walk today it was so nice. Thanks!
I’m thinking of trying this pattern but using Christmas theme material.
That would be beautiful Melody! I’m also ready to add some new Christmas fabrics to my stash!
Such a pretty tablerunner. I’m so impressed by your even stitched FMQ on the vintage singer!
Thanks Meari, I have been doing free motion quilting on my 15-91 Singer for over 30 years.
