Table Runners

In between quilts, I like to do a smaller project, something quick and easy, like the Skinnies I made for Linda.  I've been eyeing that Christmas fabric I won last summer, and decided to make some table runners for Christmas gifts this year.  I don't have any patterns, so I skimmed Pintrest, and the internet for ideas, and made up my own patterns from a couple of samples I saw.  I have two done, and hope to get in a couple more.

This first one I made is for me!  I rarely quilt for myself, so this is a real treat.  I measured my hutch and made this table runner to fit:

  

Here is a second runner that I made for a Christmas gift  (can't say for who just yet!)

The interesting part of these projects is that I have to figure out the pattern.  I had to do research on how to size/cut side triangles, and in the second one, I had to bind a 135 degree angle which was a new feat for me too!  So much math in quilting!  Sheesh!
