2-1/4″ yards solid green fabric (background & backing)2/3 yard solid navy blue fabric (triangles & binding)Mechanical pencil or other fine-point marking pen Pellon’s Sew-In Fleece Batting , 22″ x 58″ Clover’s No-Hassle Triangles Gauge by Nancy Zieman Exclusive No-Hassle Triangles Ruler by Team NZPCutting Directions:
Green Fabric:
Cut one 21″ crosswise strip (backing).Cut one 10″ crosswise strip (backing).Cut one 5-1/4″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut one 4-7/8″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut six 4-1/2″ crosswise strips (background).Subcut the following from the six green 4-1/2″ background strips:
Subcut four 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ squares.Subcut ten 4-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ rectangles.Subcut two 4-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ rectangles.Subcut four 4-1/2″ x 18-1/2″ rectangles.Subcut one 4-1/2″ x 20-1/2″ rectangles.See green fabric Cutting Diagram Below:
Navy Blue Fabric:
Cut one 4-7/8″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut one 5-1/4″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut four 2-1/2″ crosswise strips (binding).First Step, Building the Half-Square Triangle Units
Create 12 Half-Square Triangle Units using the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge.
Set theNo-Hassle Triangles Gauge to 4-1/2″ block size on the left side of the gauge. The left side notes Half-Square Triangle sizes. The gauge tells you what size blocks to cut, 4-7/8″.Cut 4-7/8″ crosswise strips of green and blue. Layer a 4-7/8″ green strip on a 4-7/8″ blue strip and cut six square pairs, measuring 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″.
Take the stitched units to the rotary cutting mat and cut the two halves apart along the marked line.
Open and press the seam allowances to the darker blue side.
Second, Create Six Quarter-Square Triangle UnitsSet the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge to 4-1/2″ block size on the right side of the gauge. The right side notes Quarter-Square Triangle sizes. The gauge tells you what size blocks to cut, 5-1/4″.Cut 5-1/4″ crosswise strips of green and blue. Layer a 5-1/4″ green strip on a 5-1/4″ blue strip and cut square pairs, measuring 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″.Place a blue and green square under the gauge and mark the diagonal line.Stitch 1/4″ from the marked line, following the guidelines for the Half-Square Triangle Units, in the first step, above. Cut the units apart and press. These blocks should measure 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″.Lay one Half-Square Triangle block on another, matching right sides. It is important that the diagonal lines lock. You’ll feel this “lock” as the seams meet.
Use a 1/4″ presser foot as a guide to stitch 1/4″ from the right and left sides of the marked line.
Use rotary cutting tools to cut the units apart.
Press the Quarter-Square Triangle Units.
Third, Arrange Table Runner RowsArrange the table runner into rows as detailed below.Stitch the pieces using 1/4″ seam allowances.
Press the row seam allowances in one direction.
After all five rows are stitched, the No-Hassle Triangles Table Runner top is complete.
Create BackingCut the backing piece measuring 10″ x 42″ into two pieces measuring 10″ x 21″ each. Use those two pieces and the larger piece, 21″ x 42″ to assemble the table runner back as described below, using 1/4″ seam allowances.
