On the Run

(More Reviews by This Staff Quilter)

The second I saw this book I knew I had to have it!  I find that I’m a little obsessed about books that have projects that use precut bundles, such as charms, strips or fat quarters.  At first, I wasn’t sure why I’m drawn to these books, because planning and cutting out a quilt is my favorite part!  Then I realized that I love these sorts of books because using precuts allows your projects to have a large variety of fabrics.  

This book focuses on table runners, and there are a variety of different looks.  There are also a range of techniques, some runners are pieced, some are appliquéd, and some mix techniques or give you options to use whatever technique you prefer.  Table runners make great gifts, and you should be able to find a design for every one on your gift list from the 12 patterns in this book.  I love instant gratification projects, and this book delivers quick projects that you will be able to start and finish in just one day!
