This is a DOWNLOAD, it will be emailed once purchased.  Downloads are not returnable. To see the patchwork part (we did not use the half-square triangles for this project, but you can!) scroll down to watch the video below. 

This festive & versatile (lots of patriotic holidays!) table runner finishes at 14" x 36". Perfect for a picnic table, dining table, kitchen island, and more!

Makes a great gift, too! Pictured in our book, "The Quiltsmart Table", it was meant to be simply an inspirational piece, but quilter's asked for a specific pattern, so we now have this downloadable pattern available - and YOU will have all the info you need to make this runner!

Quiltsmart Printed Interfacing makes this pattern so EASY & FUN!

We chose Layer Cakes (Moda™) - about (40 -42) 10” squares of coordinating fabric.

  • This tablerunner is made of a grid background of 2” finished squares - 16 can be cut from one 10” square! Stars and Waves were “layered” on top of the grid background.
  • Make waves by cutting Layer Cakes in 2½” strips, stitching end to end, then sew with Quiltsmart Waves printed interfacing.
  • Stars (Quiltsmart Star Struck ZigZapps!) can also be cut from Layer Cakes, and you'll have a nice variety of prints.
