| I fell in love with a reversible Q-A-Y-G table runner in a local shop. It had a Christmas theme on one side and fall on the other. There is a class on making it on a night I can't go. The only thing I've ever quilted is an Irish chain full-size quilt. Maybe I won't be able to figure out how to make the runner on my own but can anyone point me towards a source of good do-it-yourself instruction on this? Not necessarily on the net, as I've already looked there and not found much more than kits to order. But maybe there is somewhere on the net I haven't know to look? Actually, I did find one source on the net but it was so simple I can't believe that's all there is to it. |

I've made one table runner using the with Quilt as You Go technique a couple of years ago. Planning on doing it more often but haven't gotten around to it. But I have kept this Quilt As You Go link in my favourites. Maybe it's the same as the one you found. http://www.secretsof.com/content/624 Just found this article on QAYG of a table runner which you could probably use. QAYG Table Runner (http://www.needlepointers.com/displaypage.aspx?ArticleID=31004&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.quiltersnewsletter.com%2fwebe xtras%2ffeature148%2f) Quilt As you Go Tutorial (http://www.needlepointers.com/displaypage.aspx?ArticleID=31003&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.acornhillquilts.com%2fasyougo .htm) This may be of interest Quiltersreview article (http://www.quiltersreview.com/article.asp?article=/tip/expert/010507_a.asp) Sharon Pederson has some books on reversible quilts. The techniques in her book could be adapted to do reversible table runners. Hope this helps! TTFN from

| Thanks Judy. I seems to me that quilt as you go is employed with big, full-size quilts. I don't see the advantage for a table runner that is only about 18 inches wide. Maybe the teacher was just incorporating it as an extra lesson for future use? Guess I will not learn why from that teacher as she is not having another class and has taken herself off to warmer climes for winter. |

I think it is employed in for a table runner so that someone can learn the technique and actually complete it including the binding. That is what you would have to do with a quilt. Also, it makes a nice finish when it is reversible. Just my thoughts, LOL!
