Quick way to use scraps

Here is a quick way to use up left over fabric. 

Cut 24 strips, 2" x 5", of assorted coordinating fabrics

Cut 10 2" x 2" for accenting blocks
 Lay the strips and accenting blocks in whatever order you like.

After you find a pattern that pleases your eye, start sewing the strip together.

Trim the edges.

Cut a 1 1/4" strip from a darker fabric for the inner border.
Cut 2 1/2" strips of outer border fabric and add to table runner
.
And now it's all ready for quilting!

I have enjoyed making these table runners in different color ways for the different seasons. This one is in icy blues and a touch of gold. This table runner is longer, using 42  2" x 5" strips.

I hope you enjoy making this easy table runner.
Happy Quilting!
