Transform Your Spooky Season Sampler Blocks into a Festive Table Runner
As Spooky Season 2024 draws to a close, I wanted to find a special way to enjoy the blocks I created, extending the festive spirit throughout the rest of the month. This is also a fantastic option for anyone who may have only made a few of the blocks or want to showcase a select few!
Materials Needed
3 Spooky Season blocks(though, any 15” block will do!)
Additional background fabric(about 1/3 yard)
Backing fabric(1 1/4 yard)
Binding fabric(1/3 yard)
I used left over fabric for my backing and binding!
Step 1: Choose Your Blocks
Choose your favorite three blocks!
Step 2: Cut sashing and border strips
From the additional background fabric, cut(5) 2” x WOF strips
Using 2 of the WOF strips, sub cut into(4) 2” x 15.5” strips
Sew the remaining three strips end to end creating one very long strip, sub cut into(2) 2” x 51.5” strips
Step 3: Designing the Layout
Decide if you want your blocks to run top to bottom(like mine) or side by side.
Lay out in desired order alternating with a sashing strip
Step 4: Assembling the Table Runner
Sew sashing strips and blocks together, and press towards sashing strips
Add border strips to each side, and press towards border strips
Step 5: Basting and Quilting
Baste and quilt using preferred methods.
I quilted mine with 1/2” lines going horiztonally
Step 6: Binding the Edges
From binding fabric, cut(4) 2.5” x WOF strips
Bind using preferred method.
That’s it! Enjoy Spooky Season a little bit longer with this fun table runner. It’s a charming addition that adds a festive touch to your décor, allowing you to savor the spooky vibes a little longer. Happy crafting!
