Creating this Stamped Quilted Table Runner has never been easier…simply Stamp and Quilt, oh so easy!

I created this with my 3″ Background Basics Stamps so it came together in about an hour.

Here’s how to make your own:

Step 1:

Start the first row approximately three inches down from one of the short edges of one piece of muslin.  Stamp once with the color of your choice using a square background basic of your choice, leave it in place and then, stamp the second row…again with colors of your choice and 2 different patterns of the square background basics stamps.

Step 2:

Continue with the third row using the colors of your choice and 3 square background basics stamps in different patterns.  For the forth row stamp with 1 triangle, 2 squares and followed with 1 triangle.  Continue rows three and four, 5 times.  Then, repeat rows 3, 2 and 1 to finish the out the pattern.

Step 3:

Heat set with an iron.

Step 4:

Sandwich the Soft & Toasty batting between stamped pattern and the second piece of muslin.

Step 5:

Stitch between all of the rows of the stamped images.

Step 6:

Then, stitch around the outside edge of the stamped pattern.

Step 7:

Trim close to the stitched outer edge through all layers.

Step 8:

You can either stitch or glue trim along the outer edge.
