Those batik strips are still getting sewn up. I had a great time playing around with some strips last Monday. And I guess I couldn't stop!
This time I made a table runner out of some pretty blue and beige Island Batik strips. I am always drawn to those cool blues! The strips were each about 3" x 10". Some light. Some dark. But all rich and with such gorgeous designs.
To finish this runner, I used my Bindingless Quilted Placemat Tutorial that I showed last week.
For the topstitching and quilting I used Superior Threads' Bottom Line on top and in the bobbin.
The finished measurement of this runner is approximately 9" x 37". The backing is made from a stash fabric that reminds me of a crackle paint job and is a Northcott blender called Textures #313.
Using the bindingless method gives a sleek finish. It's a lot of fun. And it's quick!

Fun and quick projects are super satisfying! I do like the crackled look of the backing fabric. :)
Love your table runner. I have used this bindingless method on table runner and toppers before. I plan on doing it again soon.
This is great. I love table runners. They are such an easy way to swap up the decor in the house

Your table runner looks great. I made a quilt with all blue strips.
Love these fabrics and your no binding method. The backing fabric is unique. Perfect choice for this runner.
