Sew Up a Pretty Runner for Summer or Any Time

It’s a Great Project for Leftovers!
A beautiful combination of prints in soft colors creates a charming runner to enjoy all summer. It will also be lovely in other color themes, including those for various seasons.
Start with scraps, 5″ charm squares, or 10″ layer cake squares for the center blocks. Choose a background, borders, and binding to complement the star colors. We love how the red binding echoes the center stars and adds a bit of zing to the finished runner.
We couldn’t resist playing in Photoshop to see the runner in Christmas colors. Darker colors in any color theme will be beautiful too.
The completed runner, designed by Sherri McConnell from A Quilting Life, is 20 1/2″ x 46 1/2″.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
