I have a fast and easy Valentine table runner tutorial to share with you today!
Valentine Table Runner
Finished size 12″ x 36″
Hi everyone, have another fast and easy table runner for you using the GO! Qube Mix & Match 12” Block set and the applique Feather die. I am really having a lot of fun using the Qube in its handy self-contained storage system.
Materials Needed:
I used batiks from the Island Batik Lavish collection.
Orange – ¼ yard
Light Peach – ¼ yard
Red – ¼ yard – 3 – 2 ½” strips for binding
Backing – 42” x 18”
Batting – 42” x 18”
Small piece of fusible adhesive for applique
I am really enjoying using my AccuQuilt GO! Electric cutter in my new studio and here is what I used to make the table runner. Be sure to visit AccuQuilt’s blog!

GO! Big Electric Fabric Cutter (55500)

I really enjoy your projects. I made piano keys in red with hearts. It’s now on my table. It was quick and easy to machine appliqué. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. It’s so much rewarding to make smaller quilted items in between those large bed quilts! I wanted to send a photo wasn’t sure how!
Interesting thing about color. Red and orange. Nice table runner.
Your Studio looks great – doesn't take long to fill it up! Have decided against the Accuquilt. Probably would not use it to the fullest. I know you are enjoying yours though.
Happy Valentines.
what a great runner
Adorable!!! Another project I want to make.
Such a cute valentines table runner, I love the orange and red together.
Very pretty!

Another lovely finish, Connie! I don't know which one is more beautiful – the one from today or yesterday 🙂
