Quilters often have trouble finding the time to work on huge bedspreads, which are sure to be king-sized. The bed runner is a fantastic choice of alternative for this reason! This charming smaller project is a lovely accent piece that can be used over a neutral duvet, but still conveys all that handmade warmth, without all the hours of painstaking piecing.
Pattern Details & Key Info
This pattern is great for beginners, but produces a modern and geometric look designed by AccuQuilt. It is based on the well-known block "Broken Dishes", which is composed of intersecting half square triangles (HSTs) to produce a dynamic pinwheel effect.
Before taking the plunge, here are the key facts you must know:
- Final Dimensions: This is a big 15" x 85" (38.1 cm x 215.9 cm), which is ideal to hang elegantly on the foot of a queen or king size bed.
- Featured Fabrics: Riley Blake Designs bright and cheerful prints delightfully complement the original design.
- For those perfect, razor sharp points, and no headache of rotary cutting, you'll need three specific AccuQuilt GO! dies:
1. GO! Half Square Triangle-2 1/2" Finished Square (Die 55257) – Note: This is the exact bed runner pattern that is conveniently written on the packaging of this die!
2. GO! Strip Cutter-5 1/2" (5" Finished) (Die 55026) – ideal for quick and accurate borders.
3. GO! Strip Cutter-2 1/2" (2" Finished) (Die 55017 or 55014) – ideal for binding and accent strips.
Because the GO! Me and bigger GO! fabric cutters take the weight, and you'll be more at your sewing machine and less at your cutting machine. The pieces fit together with magic, so no extended bias edges or mismatched corners.
