Too Cute to Spook Disappearing 9 Patch Quilted Table Runner Using a Charm Pack 

Thanks! I do want new people to enjoy learning!

It kills me that beginners can get through the whole top and then get stuck.

Thank you! 😃

Thank you so much for your detailed review. I am new to the video process and timing is a challenge 🥰🥰

I so agree! It is so versatile!

@@prettysimplesara and very good instructions for beginngers! Thanks for the video.♥

@@susieinthecountry4434 thanks!

Welcome! Thank you 🙂

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks!! I had been planning just a strip of fabric to add a little interest at the binding, but there was no matching orange :). So I went looking elsewhere. I love how scarcity helps us become more creative!

Thanks!

Thank you! That is definitely important to me. My Dad always explained why when he was explaining fixing things etc. it helped me so much. I’m just paying it forward. I think it’s vital to true learning so I try to remember to include it. I truly want people to learn to so they can go on and fly, not just make the one project I show them.

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙂

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ooo! That’s wonderful!!!

Thanks!!

Will this be your first quilt?

@@prettysimplesara no I have made one which was the yello brick road. My problems are I didn't know how to know what to cut and how many for the piece.

@@jeanginther6611 are you using a pattern? Patterns should tell you that.

Thanks! Happy to share👍🙂

Thanks!

Small is great. It’s so much faster, takes less material, but you still get to be creative and experiment!!

@@prettysimplesara thank you, I needed that encouragement.

@@sandradummer4726 never ever think that something you’ve made isn’t ‘enough’ 👍😘

Aw thank you! :)

Thanks!

So glad! Thank you 😊

Thank you!!!!😊😊

Thanks!!!

This is a super question with a short and long, way more than you bargained for, answer:) Short answer: No, don't wash charm packs before you start. Long answer: I don't often use precuts because I DO like to prewash my fabrics. Precuts are great BECAUSE they are precut! They are ready to sew, especially if you used a pattern designed for them like this one so they are already the correct size for the project. If you wash them you will need to iron them, and then trim the threads hanging off the edges, and potentially trim them all to make them all the same size again. One by each little one.... So no, I don't recommend washing them, because that kind of defeats the purpose of them and is a huge time sink. But I say I like to prewash my fabrics (because I like to preshrink and eliminate all potential of colors bleeding) - so why would I do a video with precuts? I show patterns like this because I like to inspire beginners to learn to quilt and using precuts eliminates a couple of big stumbling blocks - learning to rotary cut and picking out a bunch of coordinating fabrics. In my beginner course I actually make a big point of teaching those things, because in the long term you don't want to be limited to precut sizes and the fabric selections other people make for you. But for your purposes, making a holiday gift for someone - they are PERFECT! Just don't wash them and spoil your groove! Hopefully that wasn't an overwhelming answer :)

Glad it helped. You can easily make it shorter just by using fewer blocks :) In terms of making it narrower, that's more difficult. It finishes at 13" wide including a 1/2 inch binding. If you wanted to use the exact same pattern you could start with smaller squares to begin with - like 4" squares - but that would mean you would have to cut them. If you went that route I would recommend cutting them from fat quarters or fat eights, not cutting down a charm pack because it would be a futzy nightmare to get all those charm squares neatly cut down IMHO YMMV. OR You could use a similar pattern with your charm squares - a disappearing four patch pattern - I have a TikTok about that block pattern here - www.tiktok.com/@prettysimplesara/video/7072484934291754286?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7257899859051021826 A single disappearing four patch block made from four 5" charm squares should be about 8". You would want to have the charm squares match like in the video, or at least be light and dark like that to get that same effect. Though other effects could be cool too. [I may put that on my list for the fall when I get back to making videos!] OR even just sewing a basic patchwork with a charm pack will look nice. Two patches across will give you a 9.5 inch finished width for a tablerunner. At that width it really doesn't have to be a complicated piecing pattern, the fabric choices can carry a simple pattern and look really really nice. I don't know what your sewing level is, but if you are a beginner you should take in to consideration that as you make the pieces smaller it can get more frustrating and time consuming. I hope that helps. Thanks for the feedback that you are looking for narrower tablerunner patterns!
