Making the Star Blocks
1. Draw a diagonal line on the back side of one 3-1/8" F square. Place right sides together with one 3-1/8" C square. Sew 1/4" to each side of drawn line. Cut apart on line. Repeat to create sixteen half-square triangle units. Square to 2-3/4".
2. Draw a diagonal line on the back side of two 2-3/4" F squares. With right sides together, place one marked square at one end of one 2-3/4" x 5" C rectangle. Sew on the drawn line. Trim 1/4" away from stitching. Press seam toward resulting F triangle. Repeat for other end of rectangle. Repeat to create sixteen flying-geese units. Square to 2-3/4" x 5".
3. Assemble one block using four half-square triangle units, four flying-geese units and one 5" D square. Sew units into rows; press. Sew rows together; press. Repeat to make four Star Blocks. Square to 9-1/2".
Assembling Your Table Runner
1. Sew one 1-1/2" x 9-1/2" A strip to opposite sides of one Star Block. Press toward the sashing strips. Repeat for each of the four blocks.
2. Referring to Assembly Diagram (this is located in the PDF download at the top of the page), lay Star Blocks, sashing strips and E setting triangles into correct placement.
3. Sew into diagonal rows and press toward the sashing strips. Sew rows together and continue to press toward sashing strips. Trim all four quilt sides to create straight edges, at least 1/4" past block points.
4. Sew one 1-1/2" x 57-1/2" A strip to opposite sides of runner. Press toward the inner border strips. Sew one 1-1/2" x 16-3/4" A strip to both ends of the runner. Press toward inner border strips.
5. Sew one 3" x 59-1/2" B strip to opposite sides of runner. Press toward the outer border strips. Sew one 3" x 21-3/4" B strip to both ends of the runner. Press toward outer border strips.
Finishing Your Table Runner
1. Prepare backing by pressing well to remove any creases.
2. Layer backing, batting and runner top. Baste and quilt as desired. Trim layers even with runner top squaring corners.
3. Prepare binding using 2 1/2" x WOF D strips. Sew binding to quilt using your preferred method.
