Do you change your decor with the seasons or even on a whim? I made this cute table runner from precut strips with warm colors on one side and cool on the other, so I can flip it over to match whatever decorating mood I am in.

Finished Size: 10” x 38”
Materials:
Robert Kaufman Half Roll Jelly Brights OR 10 2 1/2” strips; 5 warm colors and 5 cool colors. Terrific way to use up leftovers!

Cutting:
Cut each of your 10 strips to 30 1/2”.
Sewing:
Side One:
Align your cool strips from dark to light.
Sew them together beginning each strip 2” below the one to its left.
Side Two:
Align your warm strips from dark to light.
Sew the together beginning each strip 2 “ above the one to its left.
Check to make sure right sides/wrong sides line up!
Assembly:
Trim batting to the size/shape of the assembled halves.
Stack them with Side One right side up, Side Two right side down, then the trimmed batting.
Sew all the way around leaving a 3” opening along one long side to turn the work.
Clip all corners and turn right side out. Press, turning under the seam allowance of the opening.
Quilting/Edging:
You can quilt this however you choose! I used a machine embroidery stitch on my machine, making sure I chose one that looks good on both sides of the fabric, and stitched along each seam in white.
I used a smaller machine embroidery stitch that was staight on the right hand side and sent around the entire runner in white. You could do a simple topstitch if you prefer.
