Valentine Heart Table Runner Tutorial
Are you looking for a fast and easy table runner for Valentine’s Day? You’ll enjoy my Valentine Heart Table Runner tutorial that takes no time at all to make.
My tutorial is a table runner made out of batiks and measures 16″ x 40″
If you don’t have a AccuQuilt GO! Baby don’t worry, you make this runner using any method you like that gives you 3 inch finished half-square triangle blocks. I used the #55009 AccuQuilt GO! 3 inch Half Square Triangle die.
I used 2 fat quarters for the hearts and had a yard of the background fabric but didn’t use it all.
If you don’t have the AccuQuilt GO!
You can also cut 3 7/8″ squares and then cut them on the diagonal.
Let’s go make it!
I used my Accuquilt GO Baby and the half square 3″ finished triangle die. When I use this die I cut my strips of fabric a little less than 4 inches wide.
I made 3 blocks using the following for each block:
- 2 – 3.5 inch squares of red batik (or pink)
- 2 – 3.5 inch squares of background fabric
- 12 – HST blocks
Block Variations you could use

Wonderful hearts. I've been cutting with my Go HST. I'm confused on how to cut the fabric. I watched your tutorial and you say to cut a strip 4" wide. Is that with the selves he edge or do you cut across the width of fabric.

This is a cute table runner. At firts I thought you used some type of applique technique to get the inside of the hearts to be cut out. Very clever use of the hst.

Beautiful runner Connie. Thank you. I'm still so jealous of that view of the river you have. The calm of the river is so wonderful to sit and watch with a morning cup of coffee. I really miss my childhood home that was on the river.
