12″ x 26″
Happy 4th of July! I finished up my Spinning Stars tablerunner just in time to use it today. If you missed the tutorial for the Spinning Star block tutorial be sure and check it out. I’ll be updating it tomorrow as many of you would like the measurements for other sizes of blocks.
I made two of the Spinning Star quilt blocks that were 12½” x 12½” and then added a 2½ x 12 ½” sashing strip between them. The tablerunner finished at 12″ x 26″ – perfect for a small table.
I did a simple free-motion quilting of lines. I didn’t mark anything so some of the lines look like I was quilting and drinking wine at the same time! I used a cream Aurifil thread and did not quilting on the stars.
Last night we watched fireworks at our neighbor’s house and tonight we’ll watch more at another neighbor’s place. Lots of good food, friends and fireworks!
I was looking for a tablerunner the other day (never did find it) and I came across several other quilt projects I have done in the past for the 4th of July and brought them out on the deck so I could take a picture.
Broken Herringbone
Okay, these aren’t technically for the 4th of July but I wanted to pull them out because the Broken Herringbone block is becoming popular again. I think I made these in 2012. Might have to write up a tutorial.
I put both of these with the new Spinning Star Tablerunner. I had completely forgotten about the little folded star pinwheel flag quilt! My points aren’t perfect but it is still cute.
More oldies, I can tell because this was a period when I was using all of my old fabrics. Most of these came from my stash that I used when I was doing crafts shows…..a long time ago!
This little one is a favorite of mine. It is one of my first Island Batik Ambassador projects for Quilts of Valor. When I saw this piece I knew I wanted to do a tutorial on the Spinning Star block. The blocks in this one are only 3 inches and place on the diagonal.
Did you see anything that you would be interested in seeing a tutorial on? Please let me know in the comments.
Almost forgot the Mini Rail Fence! This is a little red, white and blue mini runner made from small strips.
I knew I’ll be sharing more on this as I’ve been updating my String quilt tutorials. If you visit the Batik String Summer Tablerunner Tutorial you’ll even find a new free printable!
Love seeing your collection – very inspiring. I will get to work!
I like the oldies. Just clean and crisp and patriotic…
spinnng star!! Would LOVE to know how to make this,
As I’m doing quite a bit of patriots quilts for donation
To the veteran nursing home.
But I love all your quilts!!
All of the quilts are beautiful but I think the Spinning Star and Broken Herringbone are my favorites.
Love them all
Folded Star and Herringbone
would be great, or even better all of them
Connie, I love all of your quilts, table toppers anything you show us. Thank you for all of your tutorials and patterns. I would love to have the two red and white
table toppers. You called one broken herringbone. I am not sure if that is a variation of the other or a different name.
A tut on the broken herringbone and the variation would be great. All the different placemats together is fun and I like the idea of a variety instead of a matching set.
You have a lot on your plate right now so don’t worry if you miss a few blogs, we’ll still be here when you have time.
Hi Connie! I love all your quilted goodies and have been inspired by several. Thanks so much for your tutorials, too. I especially love the folded star and the topper you did from your stash, and would love to have directions/tutorials for those two. Thanks for all you do. Regards to Builder Bob and pats to the pups!
Connie – I just love all of your table runners/toppers. Most definitely interested in the Folded Star Pinwheel Flag and the Broken Herringbone. Honestly though, I think it’s just so kind of you to share your any and all of tutorials with us! You are so inspiring!
Love the red and white stripe you made in 2012 and would like a tutorial. All of the runners are great. Thank so very much for sharing.
Connie and crew …. I’d like to see a tutorial for the larger runner in the red with white sashings… quite an unique pattern. Love reading your posts.
I have another post with information on the Broken Herringbone

I would love to have these tutorials patterns they are beautiful and I love they can be used for the 4th.
They are all so beautiful! The red and white one you mentioned is popular again, indeed you should write up a tutorial for it. And I’d love to know how to make it longer too!
I love the pink batik table runner with the contrasting white strips- and would enjoy seeing a tutorial on it. You have such a lovely collection of quilts to celebrate Independence Day. Enjoy !
The folded pinwheel intrigues me – I love 3-D blocks in quilts! And the braid/maze block that isn’t “technically” 4th of July! Thanks for offering to create tutorials for them!!! I hope your family continues to have a blessed birthday celebration for our country!!
Connie I love the table runner but I adore that Longaberger
Happy 4th of July to you & yours…..Enjoy your site very much….I really like the set with the gold in it….A pattern would be nice…..😉🇺🇸D.M.
Happy 4th, Connie and Bob! Love your collection. I give just about everything away – but need to start a collection for myself! LOL

Absolutely stunning! I love it and appreciate all the time and effort that goes into something so beautiful. Thanks for sharing on To Grandma’s House We Go!
Hello Connie; Happy 4th of July! Each and every one of your Table Toppers are lovely and will be fun to make! I have been so attracted to all blocks with Pinwheels and Stars these past few months. I enjoy all of the projects that you design and share with us, Connie! Have a fantastic day!
You have such a nice collection of the runners for the holiday. I love the matchstick quilting on the spinning stars runner.
Wow, Connie, you have quite a collection of patriotic table decorations, fun quilted toppers! Happy Independence Day!
I would love a tutorial on all of them!! Sorry, but they each are beautiful. I love the smaller size tablerunners, as my dining room table is small. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Wow, you really have a collection there, Connie. I really like the two that you paired with the new table runner. So perfect for our special holidays. Happy 4th! Enjoy your neighborhood parties. Sounds like lots of fun.
