Blooming Table Runner {Bree Blog Hop and Giveaway}

Update: the giveaway is now closed and the winner is noted below!

Today I am the stop on the Bree blog hop! Bree is the newest line from Nancy Halvorsen, who just happens to be my mom's favorite designer!

Check out this gorgeous fabric line!

For my stop on the hop, I decided to make a table runner that uses a 30 degree ruler from Creative Grids (not an affiliate link!) to make flower blocks! I'm always trying to find new ways to use the specialty rulers that I have.

This tutorial makes a BIG tablerunner -- 15" by 45"! -- perfect for bringing a bit of summer inside!

To make this runner, you will need:

1 yard navy paisley print for backing and binding
1/4 yard grey dot print for background
1/4 yard coral swirl print
1/4 yard coral paisley print
1/4 yard orange swirl print
1/4 yard orange circle dot print
1/4 yard aqua swirl print
1/4 yard aqua/navy check print

For each pair of flower prints (aqua/aqua, orange/orange, and coral/coral) decide which will be your "accent color" (center of the petal block) and which will be your "main color" (sides of the petal block). Trim each 1/4 yard cut to 9 inches wide, or if using fat quarters, cut 9 inch strips.

From each of your "accent color" strips, cut four (4) 30 degree wedges from your 9 inch wide strip. Also cut four (4) 2.5 inch squares from each "accent color". Set these squares aside for now.

From each of your "main color" strips, cut eight (8) 30 degree wedges from your 9 inch wide strip.

Sew a "main color" wedge to each side of your "accent color" wedges. Don't get too worried if your points aren't perfect! Make four (4) petal units in each color, for a total of twelve (12) petal units.

From your background fabric, cut six (6) 4 inch squares. Cut each square in half diagonally once for a total of twelve (12) background triangles. Sew each triangle along the long edge (hypotenuse, for you mathematicians out there!) to the beveled edge of your petal units.

Trim each of your petal units to 8 inches square. Use the stitch and flip technique to attach the 2.5 inch squares to the center of each petal block with a contrasting color.

Sew your four petal units into one block, making three total blocks. Sew your blocks in a row.

Quilt and bind as desired. Enjoy your summery table runner!

I love this backing print so much! It's so cheery and festive.
