This block is very simple to sew together. No triangles, no curves—extremely beginner-friendly but is also such a wonderful traditional block for the more advanced quilter.

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.
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:
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:

Block 4: NOTE: My cutting information will be based on the colors of the blocks shown. Use your own cutting guides for the scrappy colors you choose.

Sew the top & bottom rows together with the Green and Pink squares & the Purple strip. Finally, sew these last two strips to the top & bottom of the center row.
