With simple rectangle pieces and straightforward construction, you can cut, sew, quilt, and bind your runner in an afternoon. It's a great project for beginners, but experienced quilters will love it too when they're looking for a quick finish.

The Perfect Way to Use Leftover 10" Squares
If you've been quilting for a while, chances are you have a collection of leftover 10" squares in your stash.
Maybe they're leftovers from a Layer Cake. Maybe they're pieces from another quilt project that were just too pretty to throw away.
The Striped Symphony Table Runner gives those fabrics a new life!
The runner uses 2 1/2" x 10" rectangles, making it easy to cut the pieces you need from your leftover 10" squares.
It's a simple scrap-busting project that lets you enjoy your favorite fabrics all over again.

Make a Christmas Table Runner
I especially love the Striped Symphony design made with Christmas fabrics.
Imagine it in traditional reds, greens, creams, and whites, or use your favorite Christmas collection to create a festive table runner for your holiday table.
It's a quick way to add a handmade touch to your Christmas decorating without taking on a large quilt project.
And because it comes together so quickly, you still have time to make one even if Christmas is just around the corner!
A Handmade Christmas Gift
The Striped Symphony Table Runner also makes a wonderful handmade Christmas gift.
Make one for:
- A friend
- A neighbor
- A family member
- A teacher
- A hostess
- A quilting friend
- Someone who loves handmade gifts
Pair it with some pretty Christmas napkins, a candle, or another small home décor item for a thoughtful handmade gift basket.
And since it can be made in an afternoon, it's a great project to keep in your back pocket when you need a gift but don't have a lot of time.
It's Not Just for Christmas!
Here's one of my favorite things about this table runner: you don't have to make it for Christmas!
The Striped Symphony design works beautifully for just about any holiday, season, or decorating style.
Change the fabrics and you have an entirely different look.
Try:
- Valentine's Day: Reds, pinks, hearts, and conversation prints
- St. Patrick's Day: Greens, shamrocks, and lucky prints
- Easter & Spring: Pastels, florals, and spring-themed fabrics
- Patriotic: Reds, whites, blues, and Americana prints
- Halloween: Blacks, oranges, purples, and spooky novelty fabrics
- Thanksgiving: Browns, oranges, golds, and harvest prints
- Christmas: Reds, greens, whites, creams, and your favorite holiday fabrics
You could even make one in everyday fabrics to leave on your table all year long!
How Much Fabric Do You Need?
The Striped Symphony Table Runner is made from 2 1/2" x 10" rectangles, making it an especially useful project for leftover 10" squares.
