  Step 2

  I N S T R U C T I O N S
  • Take two 4 ½” Squares from fabric J and one 4 ½” x 8
  ½” rectangle from fabric A.
  • Place one of the squares on top of the right side
  corner of the rectangle, align it to the edges.
  • Using a fabric erasable marker draw a diagonal line
  across the square from corner to corner.
  • Sew on top of the line and press the seam.
  • Take the other square and repaet the previous step on
  the left side of the rectangle(DIAGRAM 1).
  • Trim excess fabric leaving 1/4” seam allowance.
  • Repeat the same procedures for the rest 4 ½” x 8 ½”
  rectangles.

• 

  Step 3

  • Start sewing the flying geese in the following order
  ACEGBDF (DIAGRAM 2)
  • Make two of this columns and attach them together

• 

  Step 4

  • Take the 6” x 56” strip from fabric J, the 4 ½” x 56” strip
  from fabric I and the 1” x 56” strip from fabric H.
  • Start sewing all of the pieces together from left to right
  in the following order J-flying geese-HI (DIAGRAM 3)

• Step 5

  Top Assembly│Sew Right Sides Together
  • Layer the finished table runner top: Place
  backing, right side down, then batting, and
  then top right side up.
  • Allow the backing to extend about 6” beyond
  all edges of the quilt top.
  • Quilt as desired.
  • Baste around entire outside edges of the table
  runner, just inside the ¼” seam line.
  • Machine or hand quilt starting at the center and
  working towards the corners. Remember that quilting
  motifs are a matter of personal preference. Have fun
  choosing yours!
  • After you finish, trim excess of any fabric or batting,
  squaring the quilt to proceed to bind it.

  Step 6

  Binding│Sew Right Sides Together
  • Cut enough strips 1½" wide by the width of the fabric
  H to make a final strip 158" long. Start sewing the
  binding strip in the middle of one of the sides of the
  quilt, placing the strip right side down and leaving
  an approximate 5" tail. Sew with ¼" seam allowance
  (using straight stitch), aligning the strip’s raw edge
  with the quilt top’s raw edge.
  • Stop stitching ¼" before the edge of the quilt
  (DIAGRAM B 1). Clip the threads. Remove the quilt
  from under the machine presser foot. Fold the strip in
  a motion of 45° and upward, pressing with your fingers
  (DIAGRAM B2). Hold this fold with your finger, bring
  the strip down in line with the next edge, making a
  horizontal fold that aligns with the top edge of the
  quilt (DIAGRAM B3). Start sewing at ¼" of the border,
  stitching all the layers. Do the same in the four corners
  of the quilt.
  • Stop stitching before you reach the last 5 or 6 inches.
  Cut the threads and remove the quilt from under
  the machine presser foot. Lay the loose ends of the
  binding flat along the quilt edge, folding the ends
  back on themselves where they meet. Press them
  together to form a crease. Using this crease as the
  stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding
  with right sides together (you can help yourself by
  marking with a pencil if the crease is difficult to see).
  • Trim seam to ¼" and press open. Complete the
  sewing. Turn binding to back of the quilt, turn raw
  edge inside and stitch by hand using blind stitch.
