Vintage Chocolate Table Runner
12″ x 36″
Straight line quilting, brown, wine, and teal prints make a beautiful vintage looking table runner.
You could easily use a 5-inch charm square pre-cut for this table runner. I had a charm pack that I cut into 2½-inch squares. You normally have 42 squares in a charm pack and after cutting the pieces in half twice, I had 168 – 2½- squares, more than enough to make this table runner.
I made 13 rows of 6 squares but you could make it longer or wider to fit your table.
I just did some straight line quilting on it. I never seem to do this very well which is why I prefer free motion quilting. You can see some little pleats.
Save this for later!
I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.
Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.
When I washed it the quilting looks a little better. I couldn’t resist hanging in on the deck rail with the snow spiral in the background.
Since the sun was out I had to take one last picture of my spiral circle or crop circle. Yesterday we had rain all day and it was gone this morning.
Winter is so beautiful along the Mississippi river here in Iowa. Many times the river is frozen over but today, the blue skies are reflected in the water.
This was my favorite place to sit along the river. Several years later, this tree fell down after we had high water for several months.
Great deals for you!

Great interpretation———-from Consumer Reports no less.
I would be in huge trouble then. The only print magazine we receive is Green for Antique John Deere Enthusiasts. 🙂
Once again I am totally drawn to your quilty projects. Allways love your fabric colors.

Very pretty table runner. Were you out playing in the snow? 😉
You are always full of inspiration, Connie
Love that fabric line – the blue paisley especially. Nicely done. Do you use a walking foot when you straight line quilt?
