BASIC Table Runner #6 is a clean, eye-catching design built around a single striking feature fabric, making it perfect for prints with stripes, text, or bold directional motifs. The finished runner measures 40" x 14½", offering a long, elegant silhouette that works beautifully on dining tables, consoles, buffets, or seasonal displays.
At the heart of the pattern is Fabric A, fussy-cut as one continuous centerpiece to highlight the most expressive part of your print—whether that’s a repeating stripe, a sentiment panel, or a scenic motif. This same fabric is also used for the backing, creating a cohesive, professional finish. Fabric B frames the centerpiece with two crisp borders along the top and bottom, adding structure without overwhelming the focal print. Fabric C becomes the binding, offering a clean edge and a chance to introduce a coordinating accent color.
Construction is refreshingly simple:
• Straight seams along the long edges
• Minimal trimming
• A generous backing allowance for smooth quilting
• Straightforward binding for a polished final look
This pattern is ideal for beginners and experienced quilters alike—quick to sew, easy to customize, and especially effective with stripe-based or sentiment-driven fabrics. BASIC Table Runner #6 delivers maximum visual impact with minimal piecing, letting your chosen fabric shine in a timeless, modern layout.
This is a great pattern for a beginner, but note that it does not include instructions for how to sandwich, quilt, and bind; however, all of those things are easily found free online or in several quilting magazines and books.
