Learn to make this lovely table runner in a one day class with Bren & Jen. This one is for the more experienced sewer as there are lots of fussy little points to match together.
This class could also be run during an evening.
The runner is created by combining 12 six inch blocks and adding a narrow border. Each 6" block has 21 pieces which makes for interesting secondary patterns appearing when 2 blocks are joined to 2 mirror image blocks.
This example used one of the Christmas fabrics which feature a design in small squares. These were fussy cut and hey presto a feature fabric. Not suitable for beginners.
