cut your binding from fat quarter #11. {seven 2 1/2" x width of fat quarter strips.}

take one of your 6 1/2" square and add two of your 2" x 6 1/2" strips to the top & bottom of it.

take one of your 3 1/2" x 9 1/2" rectangles and layer one of your 2" squares on top.

stitch from corner to corner.

note to add: feel free to draw a diagonal line across your 2" square to have a stitching guide.
open up your triangle and press.

repeat for the other side.

you should now have ten completed star point units, like so.

now take your twelve 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles and make twelve flying geese units using the same method as the star point units.

now we can begin constructing your blocks.
follow my picture diagram to complete your first block.

then add your consecutive pieces by adding on to this unit.

we will now piece your borders.

for your top & bottom borders, follow this pattern:

flying geese unit, 2" x 9 1/2" strip, flying geese unit, 2" x 9 1/2" strip,
flying geese unit, 2" x 9 1/2" strip, flying geese unit.

add these to the top & bottom of your quilt top.

for your two side borders follow this pattern:
2" block, flying geese unit, 2" x 9 1/2" strip, flying geese unit, & 2" block.

add these to the sides of your quilt top.

your quilt top should now be completed and it should look like this.

layer, baste, quilt {as desired} & bind.


you are now the owner of one amazing 18 1/2" x 42" table runner.

{that's before washing.}

this little table runner would be perfect in loads of fabric lines.
