From the Main Centre fabric cut 3 from Template A

From the Square fabric cut 24 of Template E

From the Binding fabric cut 5 strips 2 ½” wide across the Bias. Approximately 2meters of bias required.


Construction: Diagram 1 below shows how the pieces fit together.

Diagram 1. Step 1. Lay out your runner with the cut pieces to make a design you are happy with. Transfer the markings from template A onto the pieces of a. these are your reference points for seam allowance. Transfer the outer point markings of B as reference points for seam allowance and matching seams later. Step 2. Take pieces A, B and F to the iron and iron exactly in half, point to point or end to end. These creases are used for reference points as they are the exact centres. Iron A in half again to for 4 reference points. Step 3. Of the Arc pieces, F, take only 1 colour, or 10 of the 20 pieces cut, and add a square, E, to each end. 20 squares (E) in all. You will have 4 remaining. Take the remaining F pieces and join each of them to one of the Arc pieces B.


Step 4. Join F and E to F and B. This will now make one complete Melon Unit which will be sewn to the sides of A. You should have 10 melons. See Diagram 2 below:

Diagram 2 PRESS ALL CURVED SEAM ALLOWANCES OUTWARD Lay out your design again and take note of where the remaining Squares E will go. These are circled in Diagram 4 in Step 6 below. They will fill the gaps in the upper and lower edges where there are only 3 squares and the other intersections have only 2. They will be added later.


Step 5. Set the completed melon section to the Centre pieces A as per Diagram 3 below. Set this curve in as you did before with lots of pins to ease the curve around. Use the ironed creases and begin pin matching from the centres. Match the seams from the squares. Twist till the seam are exactly matched and place a pin. As you sew pull the sedges together straight and refer to the reference points you marked from the template, these are where you will start and stop sewing, ¼” in from the edges.

Diagram 3

Step 6. To add the remaining 4 x E pieces refer to the diagram 4 below, they are circled in red. These are added to the ends and joined in as part of the curve which joins the side unit to the centre


Diagram 4. Step 7. Your Table Runner will be in 3 sections. You will have added 4 melons to A to make the centre circle, you will add 3 melons only to the other 2 pieces A. Refer to diagram 5 below for the construction order.

Diagram 5.

Quilting: Lay the backing, batting and top on a traditional quilt sandwich and tack together with quilting safety pins. Ditch Stitch all the seams with Monofilament thread. Take note of the curves and sew around the complete circles. This should cover all the seams eventually. You can of course add any design you like. Stipple or cross-hatch the centres if you wish. Binding: Join the binding strips into one long strip. Iron in half lengthwise with right sides out as for a regular quilt binding. Fold one end in ½” on the diagonal. Start stitching 1 inch away from this end, this allows you the room to slip the other end in when you get back to the beginning and stitch through. Begin to sew the binding around from the centre of one of the circular sections. When you come to the inner “v” formed by the squares, clip down almost ¼” so you can pull the edge out straight and sew through in a straight line. At the outer points make a mitre corner as you would on a regular quilt. When you reach where you began, cut the length of binding so as to be able to slip the end inside the fold you made and sew through. Turn the binding over and slip stitch down and press well.
