Table Runner Sewing Round UpSew A Celebration Halloween Half-Square Triangles Table Runner

Our half-square Table Runner, by Team NZP, goes together in a couple of evenings of sewing and features twenty-eight 4″ half-square triangle quilt blocks — made from just twelve fat quarters, and one yard of fabric!

Sew A Celebration Valentine Modified Quarter-Square Triangles Table Runner

Our modified quarter-square Table Runner, by Team NZP, goes together in a couple of evenings of sewing and features twenty-eight 4″ modified quarter-square triangle quilt blocks — made from just twelve fat quarters, and one yard of fabric!

Sew A Celebration Patriotic Quarter-Square Triangles Table Runner

Our Patriotic Table Runner, by Team NZP, goes together in a couple evenings of sewing and features twenty-eight 4″ quarter-square triangle quilt blocks – made with fat quarters, and one yard of fabric!

 

Hexagon Hit & Miss Table Runner

At first glance, this table runner looks like it’s pieced with traditional hexagons. Not so with this speedy column quilt design. The hexagon shapes are created with two halves, eliminating the intersection of three seams, otherwise known as Y-seams. With this technique, faux hexagon halves are stitched in columns with relative speed and ease. Plus, the results are dramatic with Nancy Ziemans Hit & Miss Table Runner Tutorial.

Topsy Turvy Table Runner

Make a nontraditional Dresden plate. No round shapes here—the wedge-shapes of the Dresden are stitched, well … topsy-turvy, to create a linear look. This finished table runner is approximately 18″ x 86″. You could shorten or lengthen depending upon your table size. See how easy it is to make the Topsy-Turvy Table Runner.

No-Hassle Triangles Table Runner

Many of you have commented on the ease of creating triangles with the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge and wanted additional projects. We’re confident you’ll add the No-Hassle Triangles Table Runner to your to-do list. Made in the same style as the projects featured in Nancy’s Quick Column Quilts, triangle blocks plus column strips make for a fast, easy, and no-hassle assembly of this 21″ x 56-1/2″ No-Hassle Triangles Table Runner.

Festive Fall Table Runner

You may recognize this next table runner tutorial from our 2018 NZP Fall Table Runner Challenge. Featured is the Box Quilt Block, which dates back to 1898. Each 12-1/2″ block is made with eight half-square triangles and a center square. Streamline the piecing process by using the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge.

Heartbeat Table Runner

No matter the size—table runner to king quilt—you can sew a quick column quilt in a heartbeat! Colorful accent strips in a variety of widths make up the heartbeat pattern, while the subdued one-color strips add a perfect background for the design. In Quick Column Quilts you’ll watch Nancy stitch a queen-sized quilt. In this blog posting, we’ve scaled down the design for this Heartbeat Table Runner size, 24″ x 57″.

Silk and Ribbon Table Runner

Here’s a table runner that you can easily create in 2-hours—our kind of home décor project! Renaissance Ribbons, Silk Dupioni, and a little thread are all you’ll need. The ribbon is the unifying element in this design. The Silk and Ribbon Table Runner is a super-fast sewing project!

FREE! Afternoon Picnic Table Runner Tutorial!

This Puzzling Parallelogram Patchwork Table Runner, by Team NZP, goes together in an afternoon of sewing and features twelve 6″ modified 1/4-square triangle quilt blocks—all made from just three fat quarters, and a fourth fat quarter for binding. This design looks complicated, but is truly easy to make and is a great project for beginning quilters. The finished size of this table runner is approximately 12-1/2″ x 36-1/2″.
