Summer Wishes Table Runner with Fort Worth Fabric Studio

I'm excited to share my Confetti Table Runner with Summer Wishes Friday Bundle Batch at Fort Worth Fabric Studio. I loved sewing with this week's happy and bright Friday Bundle Batch. The Confetti Table Runner (available in the Sew This and That book) is such a fun and quick pattern to sew! I was able to sew the entire table runner including the binding and backing with the fat quarter bundle. I even made my table runner a bit longer than the pattern as I love being able to use every bit of my bundles!

The Summer Wishes bundle features the cheerful Wistful Winds prints from Riley Blake. This bundle just makes me happy! I loved sewing it into a table runner, which brightens up my dining room!

You'll receive 1 Fat Quarter of each (or half-yard if you choose the half-yard bundle):

Wistful Winds Main Print Red - Riley Blake
Happy Day Floral Aqua - Riley Blake
Marble Mates Dots Lemon - Moda

Cutting Fabric - You will need the book for the cutting measurements

Adjustments to make the larger size table runner.

The pattern has you cut 8 triangles, but only use 6 triangles for the setting triangles. Since I do not like wasting fabric, I decided to make my table runner longer and use all 8 triangles. This meant that I need to make 3 extra scrappy blocks for a total of 16 blocks.

From the Light Prints (I mixed 7 of my fat quarters for a fun and scrappy look)

Cut 32 rectangles each size

From 6 of the Bright Squares (I mixed 7 of my fat quarters for a fun and scrappy look)

Cut 64 squares

From 13 of the bright squares (I mixed 7 of my fat quarters for a fun and scrappy look)

Cut 32 rectangles each size

Binding: Reserve 1 fat quarter. Cut (7) 2.5" strips

Piece together 16 blocks

I chose to piece my backing by using my left over pieces from my fat quarter bundle! I love to use my entire bundle! Plus it makes the project reversible.

Finishing and Quilting-

I chose to free motion stipple using Aurifil white to quilt my table runner.

A bit about the Sew This and That book

I love purchasing books as they are a great value! Fort Worth Fabric has the Sew This and That book on sale for $16.95...which means you get 13 patterns for only a little over a $1 per pattern! So much more affordable then $8-$12 for a single pattern!

I used this pattern to make the table runner from 2 weeks ago too. I love how versatile this book is! Plus the patterns are so clearly written!!! I'm thinking about trying the All Squared up Tote next...what do you think???
