After seeing a Saint Patrick's Day table runner online, I decided to make one for our kitchen table. Based on the size I had available on our table, I worked backwards to determine the size of the blocks (8" finished), sashing (2" finished), and binding (.5")
Designs:
- Shamrock (Greenwork) from Embroidery Library (I did not stitch out the stars)
- Shamrock Wreath from Embroidery Library
- The clovers are built into IQ Designer on my Destiny II machine
- The background stipple was also done using IQ Designer on my machine.
Fabric:'
- Three 8.5" squares of white background fabric
- Ten 2.5" x 8.5" strips of contrast green fabric
- Eight 2.5" squares of white background fabric
- Backing fabric
Batting:
- Cotton Batting
- Insul-Bright

To Quilt:
You can see this table runner's embroidery has extra dimension for the extra layer of insult-bright fabric that was added. I like it! ☘️
