Last December I designed the Sunshine Table Runner that is in the May issue of Modern Quilts Unlimited. Notice the Christmas tree in the corner……I have had to patiently wait to be able to share this with you.

Modern Quilt Unlimited Issue #19

I just received my copy in the mail and the magazine is available in paper or as a downloadable digital file so I can share a few photos!

Being an ambassador for Island Batik and a monthly guest blogger for AccuQuilt has really given me lots of opportunities to create all kinds of beautiful quilt projects and I am very thankful for that.

It is so much fun to open a quilt magazine and see a project that I have designed!

I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.

Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.

My table runner was made using the AccuQuilt GO! Qube Mix & Match 12″ Block set and Island Batik fabrics but directions are also included for rotary cutting and full-size templates are included.

Aren’t the batiks beautiful! I used Aurifil thread and just did a wavy free motion quilting on my vintage Singer sewing machine.

I had forgotten that I took this photo of the runner on our king size bed. The table runner is 23 ½” x 59 ½” and could easily be used as a bed runner on a smaller bed.

This is probably the most “modern design that I have made so far, do you like modern quilt designs? I really had fun making it.

Be sure and take a look at the other quilt patterns that I have had published.

Great deals for you!

        I have made the Sunshine runner once and want to do it again. I have the magazine but have lost the 2 templates. Can you tell me the measurements or send me a copy?

  1. Looks great Connie. Congrats on being in the Modern Quilts Unlimited magazine! Very cool!

  2. Love it and congratulations! Will have to look for the magazine.

  3. I love modern designs and this is great. I agree it would make a wonderful bed runner.

    1. Thanks Pat! I had a hard time with the “modern” look but I really like it now that it is done!

  4. Congratulations, Connie. It is really lovely. I find that I am doing more and more modern quilting in the last few years. I think it is the clean lines look that draws me to them.

    this is lovely. can this design be made not using aquqilt?

    1. Thanks Lori, yes there are directions and templates for making this table runner if you don’t have the AccuQuilt die cutter and dies.

  6. It’s a great modern quilt design – congratulations Connie! The fabrics you chose are perfect and look sun drenched themselves.
