Hi Megan! Thanks for sharing this pattern and tutorial! I made my version last night and I’m excited to quilt and bind it today! It was so fun and your tutorial made it easy for me to be successful with curved piecing!

[@annechurch8071]

Excellent tutorial ! I’m so inspired to try curved piecing.

Omg I am listening to the same series right now!!! So good!

Tiny Orchard Quilts Miss you!! I am finally really sewing again! I had some sort of quarantine creative paralysis...

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

Beautiful project! Thanks for sharing!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you!

[@sarah-bethhogg]

Another stellar tutorial with lots of great tips and helpful hints...as always. 💖 Thank you so much. Just a suggestion: it would be really great to see a shot or pan and scan or still.of the completed project...I was super curious to see what the whole thing looked like once you were finished. 💜

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Its amazing the obvious things I miss in the video 😂 like a picture of the whole project!! I posted a wide shot of the runner on the community tab on the channel. Its still waiting for its binding though :)

[@bethkoch11]

Cute project and I LOVE the binding wheel. I ordered one - can't wait to try it!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you!! I hope you like the wheel--its so adorable and functional :)

Very cute! Excellent instructions!

Thank you! 😊

[@Gayle8675309]

Thanks for this video! I've been wondering how to do this! (curved piecing). You are very easy to follow and listen to. :)

[@kschallert3569]

I just want you to know that I think you are a complete genius! You are just bursting with creativity and I love it! I really like you and I'm guessing in real life we'd be great friends :-) Thank you so much for all the great ideas and time you put into sharing your gifts with us, you are greatly appreciated!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Aw!! Thanks!! I wish I could meet up with so many more fun people--the internet is amazing to find friends you didnt even know existed out there! Hopefully with all the shows and stuff reopening next year, we will all get the opportunity to meet up sometime!

I was thrilled with the quilty box and loved all items! 😍 I also love your hair! That length is so good on you! ❤️

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you! I'm so glad I cut it! and I agree--I loved the quilty box :). it was so much fun to open!

[@tracihall7083]

thank you! so useful

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Hi Megan, Oh my gosh, this looks like fun. Can’t wait to give this a try. I really like how your table runner cam out. It’s nice to have a quick project in between larger ones. Have a great week, 💜 Chris-Raleigh NC

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

So glad you liked it!! I was definitely in need of a small project :)

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

Love that binding wheel and such a cute project. My LQS often offers 4-5 FQ bundles and this is a great way to use them. I could also see a scrappy series of wavy blocks made into a quilt!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you! Scrappy would be so fun! I have a few wider scraps I could use up :)

[@patriciaguevara8793]

You make it look so easy! Time to get out some practice fabric! Fingers crossed 🤞!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Its just practice!! You can totally do it :). Practice fabric is great--this would be a great option for some wide string/strip scraps!

Thanks for that tutorial, I might give that technique a try……….

[@aydggonz3805]

Thank you for another great tutorial and thanks for the coupon code... I ordered some stuff 🤷🏻‍♀️ ... quilters got to quilt. 🧵 Love the haircut. I had long hair for years and now have a bob turning into a lob lol. It’s so much easier to manage, especially for us straight hair gals. 😁

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks!! It is definitely easier to manage this way! And no more hair pin headaches! :). I hope you like the goodies you ordered! :)

The humpy part!! 😂 You sound like me! I so enjoyed this quick project!

Oooo I’m going to have to try this! Thinking maybe some Halloween fabrics 🧐

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Halloween!! Now you are singing my song :). I'm already trying to convince my family it isn't too early to decorate.

[@phylliscampbell2325]

This is fun! Wondering if you could see them right side up using a fun stitch on your sewing machine half on one fabric half on the other. Would you need paper beneath? Idk.

[@joansearing3230]

Enjoyed the video, thank you. Like the new hairdo.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you!! ❤

[@roseanderson4928]

Love, love this project! And I have the exact same fq bundle waiting for a project! What was the recorded book you mentioned? Thanks Megan

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Its a series of three books--the first is called "The Collapsing Empire". I listened to it a while ago but the third and final book just came out a few weeks ago, so I'm listening again before tackling the last one! So glad you liked the project! I loved the little bundle and have been itching for a small, satisfying project :)

[@strawberryseed1886]

I love purplehobbies. I just got an attachable binding guide from them.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I ordered on as well! I'm going to try it out today :)

[@missyh.redlilyquiltsoftx8656]

I love your haircut

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks!! I hadn't even realized how long it had gotten since I always wore it up but it was time! I chopped it all off in the mirror on a whim :)

[@user-hc6ro1ns4y]

This is so amazing! Can I do this with 100% velvet fabric? Do you have any tips? Thank you!❤

[@wandamarsh5861]

This looks like a fun quick project. Thanks! I enjoy your videos and your relaxed encouraging teaching style. Could you show the finished project? I am a visual learner and it helps me see where I am going. Have a great day!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Sure! I’m still working on attaching the binding but I’ll put a shot of the full runner over on the community tab :)

[@meganjones1253]

Tula pink fabrics make me swoon! That table runner is pretty. I enjoy string quilting. Probably should give this a try. Thanks for sharing. Btw, I was subscribed and then noticed that I wasn't. No idea how that happened. Resubscribed.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Oh no! Sorry! I saw in my account that youtube was having some analytics reporting issues for a time--perhaps thats why? I'm glad you came back :)

Hello from Australia, I have just found your channel and am throughly enjoying it. Could you please show us the finished table runner for inspiration 💖💖

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I did post a photo of the whole thing in the community tab-I’ve since trimmed it and have it ready to bind. I’m so sorry I didn’t manage to put it in the video! I’m always amazed at the obvious things I sometimes miss after the entire video making process!

[@victorialopez4735]

Hi! I am such a fan of your videos. I really enjoy your tutorials and tips. I also got the quilty box for July, my first tula pink fabric! I'm a newbie to quilting so i am super scared to cut the fabric. I am not sure what to make with it yet! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was looking for a good improv curb tutorial. I think i may do a bed runner with blues using your pattern. Thank you so much. I have a quick question... where did you get your pin holder? i have been looking for one where the pins do not lump up in the center and couldn't help noticing yours. Thanks again!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoy them--I always try to make them as valuable to everyone as possible :) A bed runner would be lovely! My pin holder is called a "zirkle" and its awesome--there is a strong magnet in there and it will help orient your pin so the head is always out. (well, almost always!). I have a link to it and lots of other things people ask about on my amazon page here: www.amazon.com/shop/tinyorchardquilts

[@gailstraka771]

Is there a pattern for the coaster or mug rug you mentioned at the end? I found the table runner pattern.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I made a video on them a while back :). There isn't a printable pattern but they are little quilt as you go coasters. kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6ue2t-atOriKM

[@jeangranger4471]

Where did you get your curved ruler ?

[@yduj52]

It seems to me if you also sewed the “excess scraps” in the same manner they could be used as well will there being no waste.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

You certainly could! I was trying to keep them as skimpy as possible so there was as little waste as possible. I suppose if you overlapped them further, it would give the scraps more room to be sewing together again.

[@annhooser5271]

I am wondering if you could have used the Curve Master foot to sew this? It looks like a fun project.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I think so! They were pretty gentle curves, so I didn’t bother but I’m sure it would work. I know some people use it for straight piecing too!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I find it easier for me to sew curves by keeping the pieces free form and move the top and bottom as needed to meet within 1 inch increments.

[@nimardwe810]

❤❤

[@suegillettful]

Can't you jusr put the 2 pieces overlapping a sew a curve before you cut it apart? I'm not a quilter yet but would that work?

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

It seems like it would but it doesn’t. The pieces need to be shaped correctly to fit together and lie flat.

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

Thanks for showing that Binding Wheel. I was looking at the binding baby but it was $20 and then the spindle to hold it is $20 😳. I was also able to order the Alphabet 📌. So with the discount code, basically shipping was free 😀

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

yay!! I just used the little alphabet to assemble a quilt--it was so nice! I'm glad you liked the project! :)

[@salkowitz1]

Do you have a picture of the finished runner?

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I do! I posted it under the community tab :). Its still without its binding but you can see the entire thing.

[@ingehoward3908]

Where can I get the seam guide

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I keep a list of things from my videos on my amazon page here: www.amazon.com/shop/tinyorchardquilts I keep adding to it as people ask about things. You may be able to find the seam guide other places as well. If you don't have a juki, there are magnetic seam guides that will work on almost any machine.

[@thomascelestebrown6290]

Um. Excuse me. Where did you get that wheel that your binding was on???!!😱 I need.
