Today I started a new table runner. After all the Fourth of July is just around the corner. I thought hourglass squares might work and started with half square triangles.
A stack of hourglasses.
Trims from squaring up.
Trimmed, stacked and ready to sew.
Backing, batting and top together and ready to machine quilt.
I use my painters tape to line up my points for machine quilting.
Do you see it? My stars are camouflaged into the stars.
Maybe this is better to see. Sometimes I use the same fabric for the backing and binding. Here, I’m adding the binding to the back of the runner first.
Next, turn the binding to the right side and topstitch about 1/16” all around. I moved the needle to the right and use the center of the foot as a guide. These clips are great for bindings.
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance
Happy Independence Day!!

Hourglass blocks are almost always a good choice.
