Create a Beautiful Runner from 5″ Charm Squares
This is a Great Project for Beginners!
Feature a beautiful combination of prints in this lovely table runner. The delicate florals and soft Parisian colors in the fabrics chosen by the designer impart a timeless, romantic look that will be beautiful in any home.
Of course, any color palette and many fabric styles will work nicely in the runner. While its personality will change, the results will be charming and uniquely yours.
The runner is perfect for beginners and for those who want to give paper piecing a try. Square-in-a-Square foundation paper is used for easy, accurate construction. However, the 4″ finished blocks can also be made the traditional way. Julie Cefalu provides excellent instructions plus a chart for various block sizes here.
The completed runner designed by It’s Sew Emma measures 16.5″ x 48.5″.
