All this week, I have taken a single quilt block design & created five different table runners for you! Each day, the single quilt block has been modified slightly to create a number of variations from a single quilt block. You can make these table runners scrappy, if you prefer though I used the same three colors in all five of the designs I put together for you. These blocks are SIMPLE to make—all straight lines & no triangles—which makes them extremely beginner friendly!
This is the third block. The cutting instructions are for ONE (1) block, you need FOUR (4) of these blocks to make your table runner. All blocks are 10? finished, 10 1/2? unfinished. All of the table runners have a finished border & a 1/2? binding. All seams are 1/4?. All of the table runners finish out at 15? x 45?. Press toward the darkest fabric.

- Cut TWO (2) 3″ x 10 1/2″ strips of Blue
- Cut TWO (2) 3″ x 10 1/2″ strips of Purple
- Cut TWO (2) 3″ x 5 1/2″ strips of Blue
- Cut TWO (2) 3″ x 5 1/2″ strips of Purple
- Cut ONE (1) 5 1/2″ square of Lilac
Sew the Purple and Blue shorter strips to the top and bottom of the Lilac center square. Then sew the longer Blue and Purple strips to the left and right side of your center.
For the borders and binding:
- Cut TWO (2) 10 1/2″ strips for the left and right borders
- Cut and piece TWO (2) 44 1/2″ strips for the top and bottom borders
- Cut enough 2 1/2″ x WOF strips to create your binding
After you have your borders sewn on, create your quilt sandwich with your table runner top, batting & backing fabric and quilt as desired. Attach the binding to complete your project!
Here’s the finished table runner:
