From Our Little Handmade Home comes this easy-to-make table runner. Made from strips, it has a great scrappy look to it. The tutorial comes complete with cutting and sewing instructions. …
I mentioned the Bucket List Club for a reason. Yep, February is for the Delectable Mountains block. This block is lots of fun to sew and design with. There are several different construction methods for this block and different sizes. Here are links to a few of my favorite ones: This page illustrates a more historical, traditional block and construction http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/pioneer_patterns/delectable-mountains.htm This page illustrates construction of a 9 inch finished block,using modern techniques http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/12/go-tell-it-on-mountain.html This page illustrates construction of a finished block 6" by 7-1/2". It also shows lots of design possibilities. I love the scrappy one! The block begins with easy 8-1/2" squares. I used this construction and dimensions for my delectable mountains collection which I'm sharing here. http://quiltville.com/delmtspf.html Here is my delectable mountains table runner. It measures 12" by 45". You will notice that I trimmed off the square corners. This created a bit of a challenge with the binding. I think I created 60 degree corners. One corner didn't make for a smooth mitre. I should have rounded them off. Naturally, I played around with this block design in EQ. Here are a few layouts for table runners. They are all designed with the block dimensions from quiltville.com. The differences are achieved by how you rotate the blocks. Examples 1 and 2 use 12 blocks each and examples 3 and 4 use 16 blocks each. Each 8-1/2" square makes 2 blocks, one and another one reversed. For example, if you wanted to make runner #4, you only need to start with 8 light color blocks and 8 dark color blocks. Stay tuned for the table topper. It's nearly ready!

I have a fun, little project for you today that will sweeten up your decor, the Sweetheart Table Topper. This is an updated version of a similar pattern that was featured in Gen Q Magazine a few years ago. You can check out the original version of this project here. My mini quilts inspired me to shrink this project to table topper size and I thought it would look so sweet in French Lessons by Jack and Lulu for Dear Stella. You can also find this project on the Dear Stella blog today. Sweetheart Table Topper - 20" x 23” 1. Table Topper designed, pieced & quilted by Julie Herman 2. Aurifil 50wt thread used for piecing & quilting. 3. Batting is Warm Blend from The Warm Company. -- Supplies 9 Fat Eighths or scraps for hearts - I used French Lessons by Jack & Lulu for Dear Stella 1 Fat Eighth of Background Fabric 1 Fat Quarter for Binding Hex N More Ruler 2/3 Yard for Backing Batting - At least 24" x 26" You can check out the video tutorial on how to use the Hex N More ruler here. Pro Tip - If you want to fussy cut a striped fabric so that the stripes will match in the middle of the heart, it is best to cut one jewel and then lay it on the fabric strip, right sides together, as shown below. Align the stripes of the cut jewel to the stripes of the fabric strip so that you can cut a mirror image with the 2nd jewel. I did decide to piece my backing so that I could have my label sewn in. This table topper works great to display a cake plate... now I just need the cake!! It also works well to hold a bunch of candles. When you make your Sweetheart quilt table topper, be sure to share it online with #SweetheartQuilt so we can all share in the fun! © 2015-2022 Julie R. Herman. All rights reserved.
