[@SewtheDistance]

Here's the blog with directions for this project AND supplies for other size projects, including full quilts: www.sewthedistance.com/blog/one-charm-pack-table-runner

[@anncantlin9710]

Thanks for the measurements.

[@ellebrown6560]

Thank you. I did listen to your tuorial a cpl x's thru but I had my supervisor helping and lost all concentration. Happily, I was able to fuse them back together. Again, accuracy largley depends on how much help you get. And, now to your blog :)

[@annethompson4886]

Thank you

[@amyhofner6777]

A full quilt would be pretty.

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, I think so, too! I am currently updating the blog to include the sizes. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@dixiedonovan6012]

I think this would look great in a quilt. Meanwhile, I now know what to do with a Christmas charm pack in my collection. Thank you!

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! This would make a great Christmas table runner or quilt! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@pauladimattei6434]

I love your patterns. I love all your tips and tricks too. Especially the “ be careful not to do this” tips. You are such a wonderful teacher.❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! So happy the extra tips are useful, too! ❤

[@dianetuttle9396]

I like the on point table runner! I have 6 charm packs to use up. Thanks for your visions!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! So glad you like them! ❤️

[@loispipkin4031]

I love this. I think I would like a longer table runner. I can’t wait to see what charm packs I have that might make a good table runner.

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So happy you love this and are going to make it! It is a lot of fun!

[@JayJay-lz1es]

Same concept using 10" squares and set on point would make a great quilt.

[@SewtheDistance]

Ohhhh, yes! That would work well, too! Great idea! Thank you!

[@peggyking4318]

Your humble demeanor adds to the appeal of your presentation. We all make mistakes and I like that you admit it on camera. Fun pattern

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh thank you so much! I like to keep it real. I make a ton of mistakes. 😂

[@lindaweitman8564]

That is so true!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

Yes I will try it. In fact, I think I'll make this in Christmas colors for runners for my sister-in-laws.

[@SewtheDistance]

Ohhhh, love this idea! Thank you for sharing! I would love to see them when you are done. ❤️

[@JC-sf2qm]

I was looking for a Christmas table runner pattern ... thanks for the suggestion! I won 3 Christmas fat quarters from my local quilt shop. With a little more fabric from my stash, this would work beautifully 😊

[@sandybettencourt5735]

I went to bed thinking I want to make a table runner for my dining room and lo and behold your video is the first one I see this morning!

[@SewtheDistance]

I love when that stuff happens! 🥰

[@karencarroll8161]

As a new quilter I love that your blocks can be wonky! Mine are always wonky! Thank you for all the lessons.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! Welcome to quilting! It is a wonderful hobby. The community is great, too! 🥰 Yes! This one is so forgiving! So happy it is helpful!

[@monkeymommy778]

I always say if I was ever able to open a quilt shop that it would be called Wonky 😂

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I love this about you too, Kristen. I don't have to beat myself up if it's not perfect.

[@joanbarker6581]

I love the table topper.

[@Deidara2590]

Thank you i have learned so much, and your adorable!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@patwilson5017]

wowser! How clever...you are such a good teacher. Thank you.

[@SewtheDistance]

My pleasure! ❤️ Wow, thank you! 🥰 It was my former profession! So happy you enjoy this!

[@mariejohns1387]

Love it as a table runner!! So quick and easy!! Sandwich it and quilt it with the orange thread!! Call it a done deal Kris…. Its beautiful!

[@SewtheDistance]

I love it! 🥰 Thank you! I decided to make two table toppers and I am using orange thread. I LOVE how it is coming out. Can't wait to share!

[@Thisisit120]

I love how you go through and explain where to place your ruler to cut. I think if I watch you I will actually be able to do quilt making I’m going to give it another try.

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, thank you! I am so happy you love this one and found the instructions useful! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

[@priscillastevens6738]

Please keep at quilting...it will become easier with practice and with these great videos...she is an Excellent teacher. Quilting is an Excellent hobby. Good Luck and enjoy.

[@marionleep8612]

You being ambidextrous is a great help in cutting. Great pattern. I love precuts so I enjoy any use of them

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! So happy you like this! ❤️

[@bethcarter3737]

You’re so cute & bubbly! I love watching your videos. I really like this project. I think you should keep it a runner but bind it.

[@SewtheDistance]

Aww! Thank you! You are so sweet! I love this idea! I am still not sure what I am doing, but I like the idea of a smaller project mostly because I have so many quilt tops to finished. 😁 That said, I love the fabrics! Maybe a charity quilt. Hmmmm.

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

Darling,, make the quilt. This is cool!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! So glad you like it! I just have so many unfinished quilt tops waiting, but, then again, what's one more? 🥰😂🥰

[@ritaw9479]

Really like this idea. I think a full quilt would be great.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! So glad you like it! I think it would be nice as a quilt, too. ❤️

[@CarolynAndrews-fd2ki]

I love this project! And thank you for the lesson in sorting fabrics into lights, mediums and darks using a black and white photo. I learned something new!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So glad you love it and that it is helpful! Thank you so much for watching and for letting me know you love this. ❤️

[@priscillastevens6738]

Thank you for showing how to check for light, medium & dark by taking a picture. Great Tip.

[@SewtheDistance]

I’m so glad you found it helpful!

[@guesswhonancy9028]

Girl this is awesome

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😎

[@abigaildolinger2754]

I love this method for using a charm pack. I bet you could use a layer cake and make a throw quilt!

[@SewtheDistance]

Great idea! Absolutely! So glad you love this! Now I want to try it with a layer cake, too!

[@vickiheath6133]

It will be a beautiful quilt

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 🥰

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

Another great tutorial! I, too, struggle with actually finishing a project unless I plan it for a gift. Lots of flimsies in my closet.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! YES! SO many flimsies. 😁 I am going on a retreat in a few weeks. Maybe I can get a few things done then. Glad I am not the only one! 🥰

[@cherieseward9868]

I was thinking a quilt would be so cute!!! Thank you so much I just love you !!! You are amazing ❤️❤️

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww! Thank you! You are so sweet! A quilt would be amazing! I need to make one like this someday! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@evelynelliott4485]

A full quilt would be very pretty.

[@SewtheDistance]

I think so, too! I am going on a retreat in a few weeks. Maybe I will make one then. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@suekelly840]

I would still use the yellow as a medium. Sometimes you need to trust your first impression.

[@SewtheDistance]

I understand where you are coming from. I've learned I don't like the results when I think I know where a fabric needs to be. I always check for value because it hasn't let me down yet, but I get it! That's what makes this hobby so wonderful. ❤️ Thank you for watching and sharing!

[@evelynelliott4485]

A full quilt would be beautiful.

[@SewtheDistance]

It really would be nice! Thanks so much for watching!

[@paulinechapman5669]

What an absolutely fun project..wow ..a chance to use a box of orphan 5 patches..thanks so much..oh and you’re also sew fun..and yes l will make a full quilt..lots of fabric to use..🇨🇦

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! 🥰 You are sweet! I love when that happens and you have the perfect fabric for a project! ❤️

[@debragerum7678]

I love your idea of crosshatch quilting with orange thread. This would look great as a quilt too! ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I love the idea, too! I may just do that.

[@lisafuller2027]

Yes orange thread for cross hatch pattern. Love the dimension it gives. Your enthusiasm to open the charm pack matches my own😅🎉😅🎉😅

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! Thank you! I get so excited when I open up fabric. 😂 Glad I am not alone! 🥰

[@dia9491]

I love it. It’s gorgeous. I’d definitely have a quilt in those colors.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😊 The colors are great, aren't they? Love this fabric line!

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

I love it on point also.

[@SewtheDistance]

It makes such a difference, doesn't it? Thank you so much for watching!

[@jkissnhug]

A full quilt would be gorgeous!

[@SewtheDistance]

I think so, too! ❤️

[@irenew6202]

I love the OnPoint table runner

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I love that one, too!

[@SS-sx1zl]

It turned out so well! You should totally make it into a quilt.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I do love it! It would make a beautiful quilt!

[@cherieseward9868]

I love it!!! You are awesome!!!

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! So glad you like it! Thank you so much! 😎

[@DawnAtCusterCottage]

I like it on point. The scrappy looks better that way.

[@SewtheDistance]

I agree. Putting anything on point makes it look so much more complicated. 😊

[@elizabethamis9376]

Love this! Thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset UK

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! Glad you love it! Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@jobabs]

Uneven scrappy 9 patch! Love it!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! Is that what it's called? But it isn't uneven, is it?

[@jobabs]

@@SewtheDistance I guess I would call it uneven, since the 9 pieces are not the same size. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SewtheDistance]

I guess so! Good point!

[@michelledurham8236]

Super Cute. I was volunteered to be the QOV POC for our guild. I have a sit n sew this Saturday. Veteran's Day! I think I will get the ladies to cut this pattern out for a quilt using a layer cake! My ladies like big squares so we can churn out more beautiful quilts. Our State of Alabama has a waiting list of nearly 300 folks awaiting a quilt from QOV. Can't wait to show them your video! ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh my goodness! I can't tell you how happy this makes me knowing you are going to use my pattern for QOV quilts! THANK YOU SO MUCH! What an honor. I love love love this! As a daughter of a disabled veteran, I am honored to be a part of this endeavor. 🥰

[@dc5600]

Love that it's only one charm pack. I need a fall table runner too. Thanks

[@SewtheDistance]

Perfect! I really wanted to keep this at one charm pack when I was designing this technique and pattern. So happy you love this!

[@margaretsmith8066]

Beautiful, a full quilt would be amazing ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I think so too!

[@JackieWagner-o9u]

I never knew how to tell the lights, darks, and mediums. Thanks so much for the tips.

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So happy this helps you! You are so welcome. Thank you for watching and sharing!

[@sunneedaze57]

I especially love the runner on point! They all look great!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks so much! I love that, too! Still can't decide! 😂

[@lorispalding8355]

I love this pattern you shared and plan to make a baby quilt with it. Thank you!

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So excited that you are making it! A baby quilt will be wonderful!

[@tiggermom0258]

I love this! I’ve been struggling with my charm packs and you solved my dilemma!!! Thank you!!

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! So glad this is helpful! 🥰

[@kreeck675]

You are a definite teacher…very inspiring. Thanks

[@SewtheDistance]

My pleasure! And thank you so much! What a nice thing to say! 🥰

[@michelleswistak1389]

Orange thread would add interest. I agree ( I don't use or make table runners) I thought a quilt would be pretty.

[@SewtheDistance]

I think so, too! I just updated my blog on this one, and at the end of the blog, I listed how many charm packs you need for a bunch of different size quilts. Hope this helps!

[@Janiebeard-g2p]

Yes Please make more quilt and like the one you just made.

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! Glad you love this one! More to come!

[@jojomontgomery7119]

Cute idea!😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much!

[@joannecutrone4809]

Love this. I need to make this🥰

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So happy you love this one! 🥰

[@kate739]

i love the pattern, i would make it into a full quilt, maybe a lap size thanks for the pattern love your videos

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I love that you love this! You are so welcome. Thank you for watching and sharing. ❤️

[@arlene511]

Full quilt would be awesome

[@cherylstreeter7094]

I’ve always thought my blocks were wonky because I did something wrong. I feel so much better seeing you have the same issue! Your tutorial was easy to follow and can’t wait to try this!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! I love that you are going to try it! I always seem to get wonky blocks from precuts. I don't think they are always cut on the grain. So happy I am not alone! ❤️

[@bettyechapman3053]

Made a baby blanket with a charm pack, wish I had seen this pattern. Nice

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! This would make a great baby quilt! I wish you had it then, too. ❤️

[@maryjanelemon2531]

I love it as a table topper. Do your fancy top stitching in the orange thread. Love you videos and your great teaching. 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it! Orange is my favorite color, so I love that idea! 😀

[@joypolk3093]

Lovely quilt! You are a very good teacher🤩😁

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😊 That is so sweet to say! I was a classroom teacher for many years. 🥰

[@ladonnaradney3466]

I really like this block! I bought a 10" layer cake block that's about half light and half dark. I have stash fabrics to coordinate. I've been wanting to make a quilt (50"x70"-ish) for my niece but no patterns inspired me. This one does, thank you!

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! That is so exciting! I hope you love your quilt. 😊 Thank you so much!

[@deborah1555]

The fabric makes a gorgeous quilt!

[@SewtheDistance]

Doesn't it? It is a beautiful fabric line! I love it!

[@sherryfaires7931]

This is a very unique idea! I have not seen this block! I really like it! Your Halloween one on point is really neat! I think I will have to try this!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! You never know when you are making a pattern/technique if it has been done or not. I haven't seen it yet either, but I wasn't sure if it was out there. I feel like everything has been done already. 😂 I love just playing with fabric and coming up with stuff like this. Thank you so much for watching!

[@lindalove5920]

Thanksgiving fabric would work too! Our family favorite holiday.

[@cherieseward9868]

Halloween is adorable!!!!

[@SewtheDistance]

I love that one, too!

[@SewingWithLawayne]

OMG I love this, I have some charm packs my mom sent me 6 yrs ago for my birthday that I stored away and just find that would be great for this but as a samll quilt.

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! I love when that happens! I have a full list of different size quilts with the number of charm packs you will need to make each size on my blog. Hope this helps! I am so happy you love this one! Thank you for watching and sharing! ❤️

[@jenniferh9712]

Love to see it as a quilt! So pretty!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! It would make a pretty quilt, wouldn't it? Hmmm. So many decisions! 😁

[@marionleep8612]

Waiting for my clue three carnival quilt block of the month…lol the charm pack one is really cute! Thx

[@SewtheDistance]

You're welcome! So glad you like it! I posted it yesterday. I hope you got a chance to watch! If not, here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5mkq5lpq82ne6s I will be earlier next month. I promise. ❤️

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I use trays too and love them.

[@SewtheDistance]

Aren't they great? ❤️

[@AvivaHadas]

I just added those prints to my project. (I sort "everything" by value & work scrappy. I like that this one had real darks, many charm packs don't in my opinion.)

[@SewtheDistance]

I agree! They don't usually have a lot of darks, which can mess you up. 😊 I was a bit nervous about going into a charm pack 'blind" for that very reason! 😂 Glad it worked out. Love the idea of using scraps! I just updated my blog with all the sizes/number of charms you need/etc. Hope that helps as you plan!

[@AvivaHadas]

@@SewtheDistance I'm almost done with a light medium/dark medium checkerboard - I've gotten som many scraps that are not dark or light (more than a few from charm packs.)

[@debbieparker6412]

Fall colors. I love it! I think a Table Runner for your mum would be perfect. I like the idea of orange thread stitched at an angle. You do such pretty work.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@margm4]

Hello Kris, that was a wonderful demo. I like all the hints, and your cheerful personality! So many ideas..you really are an enabler of the nth degree! 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@SewtheDistance]

😂 This isn't the first time I have been called a bad quilting influence. 😂 So happy you love this! Thank you for all the kind words. ❤️

[@elizabethgregory7690]

Love your video. It was very helpful. Im a newbe to sewing. Full quilt would be really lovely. Great idea to plan out blocks then leave it and go back to it.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! Glad it is helpful, especially to a new quilter! That always makes my heart happy to know newbies are learning from the videos. Please let me know if you have any questions! ❤️

[@barbdripsue]

Love this pattern. Definitely a project to try. You could make more blocks and make a bed runner.

[@SewtheDistance]

Ohhh! Great idea! Thank you! Love that!

[@elliefox1419]

Fabric and pattern are so cute!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😊 I think so, too! ❤️

[@bsmith5672]

I just bought a fat quarter of the fabric to make a quilt (some day) but now I’m thinking I need some charm packs too! Love the fabric and love the design 🥰

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! You could cut some 5" squares from the fat quarters, too! Just a thought! So happy you love this! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@helenfinaldi8645]

Yes on all the ideas

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! ❤️

[@JeanStrainer]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your honesty and appreciate your tips for success.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! I am happy you found it useful! ❤️

[@bethkoch11]

Another great idea! I like the crosshatch quilting. I think this would make a great quilt - you could cut up a layer cake into fourths, and you could make a quilt that's 5 blocks x 8 rows. Using the charm packs it's a nice pattern to use for quick table runner gifts.

[@SewtheDistance]

Great idea! Love the idea of making gifts from this, too! Thank you so much!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Turned out really cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😊 You are so welcome!

[@tsm5031]

Would love to see this as a larger quilt or throw. I love the pattern.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! It would make a great quilt! Hmmm. So much to think about! Thank you for watching and sharing. ❤️

[@Chipper6032]

I like the first one best because of the colour. I must say I much prefer muted colours.

[@SewtheDistance]

That is my good friend's favorite, too! It did turn out pretty. I have a few more of those charm packs. Maybe I should make that one into a quilt. Thanks so much for the idea, for watching, and for commenting!

[@lindalosier5989]

Love all the options!! It's really cute anyway you do it. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us!!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! So happy you love it! ❤️ Thank you for watching!

[@bees272]

Lovely work I think the orange thread would look really good. Thank you so much for your time and creativity.

[@SewtheDistance]

You’re welcome 😊 I started quilting it and LOVE how it is turning out. Orange was a great choice. Can't wait to share it on my blog. Thank you for your kind words! ❤️

[@patriciahibbard7345]

Again, you are such a great instructor!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! Thank you! 🥰

[@pennypipes6039]

I’m a beginner and this looks like something I can do. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! Welcome to quilting! This is a perfect beginner project. ❤️ So happy you love it!

[@melissaleslie5282]

I think you should make a quilt!!❤ I love these colors and you could design I beautiful pattern 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I love the fabrics, too! I decided to make two table toppers. I love how they are turning out!

[@ms.maureen2925]

I love this! So many options! Thank you for the great pattern! 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dcwatashi]

Such a clever idea. Turned out really nice.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Ez2beholli]

What an AWESOME IDEA for a Charm Pack!❤ I would love to see you use this pattern for a Lap size quilt toooo! Table Runner and a Quilt! I absolutely love your pattern for making this block! 🎉🎉❤❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I love that you love this! It is fun to make, too! ❤️

[@jodigargulak5584]

I absolutely love this pattern!! So much fun 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! So happy you like it! ❤️

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I like this pattern. Both table runners are beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! 😊

[@suestutzle2779]

That was fun. What a great idea. I have two charm packs that I bought ages ago because they were on a throw out table at my local sewing machine shop. They were such a good price that I couldn't resist even though I had no idea what to do with them. So now I have some food for thought. I fiddled with my phone and found how to change to black and white, another lesson learnt! I have to make a Christmas present for my Sewing Guild. Might think more seriously about this.

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So happy this helped! The black and white photos really help. I cannot trust my eye. Learned that a long time ago! LOL! Glad you have some ideas for this one! More to come!

[@glynisreynolds446]

Love this idea 🥰 I’d definitely want a quilt 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧

[@SewtheDistance]

You’re welcome 😊 So glad you love it!

[@JanetSandberg]

Just made a Christmas runner using this pattern. Love it!

[@SewtheDistance]

Did you really? I love that! When I make a video, I never know if viewers will actually make the project. I LOVE knowing they do! Please sent me a picture! My email is [e-mail]. I would LOVE to see it. You can also post on my Facebook group, if you'd like! Thank you for letting me know! 🥰

[@juanitarogowski1629]

Love it! You just gave me an idea to what to do with Halloween charm packs! Thank you for sharing, I love you personality! Many Blessings

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! Blessings to you, too. 🥰 Halloween fabric is one of my favorites! Well, second to Christmas. ❤️

[@Bmon-js2lk]

💕I love this quilt. Thank you.🌸

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! So glad you love it! You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@dianejohnson6867]

I loved the Halloween one on point!

[@SewtheDistance]

Isn't that great? It was fun to make and originally, that was going to be the tutorial, but struggled with the finish and didn't want to teach something that wasn't going to offer success to everyone, including a beginner. It is cute though! I need to work out the issues.

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Love love love your on point Halloween topper. Nice job.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! ❤️

[@eileensecrest2185]

How didi miss this when it came out? Hope you make full quilt out of this. I might make my own charm packs to do this as you did recently.

[@SewtheDistance]

That's okay that you missed it! It will be here. ❤️ I didn't end up making a full quilt. I made table toppers instead and they are great! I want to make a full quilt someday, however. This would be great with homemade charm packs! Great idea! ❤️

[@mygeorge1951]

You're awesome ‼️ Gracias 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww, thank you! You are so welcome! ❤️
