In making this tablerunner I used three FQs for my colors 1, 2 and 3 and a half yard cut of fabric for the background. I ended up with leftovers, so that should be an appropriate amount for you to start out with — but I suggest aiming to have a bit more than I suggest — just in case.
Here are the fabrics I’ll be working with:
They are all shimmery and unfortunately I discovered too late, my camera and shimmery fabrics don’t mix well — so I’ll ask that you forgive some of the pictures with less than stellar color quality 🙂
Background: Ivory

Cutting Instructions:

- Cut four 3 1/2″ Squares
- Make sure you have some 2″ x 38″ strips left over — you’ll cut these to the length of the table runner once you know what that length is (Everyone’s table runner will vary a little bit, which is why I’m not providing this exact number)
