Look What Judy was able to make with the Accuquilt!!

It's as easy as 1-2-3!!

"I just cut out pieces for a Puss in the Corner pattern, crib size. Strips slightly wider than 4.5 inches were folded back and forth over the 4.5 square die. 2.5 wide strips of two fabrics were also die cut. They were stitched together in sets of two. After that, they were cross cut on the strip die into 2.5 segments. Quite a timesaver!" -Judy

Petit Fours Table Runner

Petit Fours Table Runner

Petit four (plural: petits fours): a tiny, bite-sized cake with delicate layers of moist cake filled with smooth butter cream and jam fillings. Each cake measures approximately 1.5 " x 1". The miniature cake is often dipped in fondant and decorated with piped icing flowers. The name is from the French petit four, meaning "small oven".



Supplies:



1 Charm Pack (40 - 5" squares) I used Wildflower Serenade 2 by Kansas Troubles
1/8th yard for inner border



1/8th yard for binding
Backing and batting at least 15" x 47"





Instructions:

Select 27 (I used the top 27 from Wildflower Serenade) of the 5" squares and cut each into 3-1.5" strips. This will give you 81 strips that are 1.5 x 5". You need 80. Have a nice sharp blade and you can stack and cut several charms at once.
Reserve the remaining 13 charms for the outside border.

Sew into 40 pairs of 2

Sew 2 pairs together. Repeat until you have 20 sets of 4 strips.

Press all seams one direction.

Trim length to 4.5". I stacked 4 blocks; trimmed 1/4" off one end...

then trimmed the other end to equal 4.5".

Sew two 4-strip units together as shown below. Repeat to make 10 units

Press as shown below

Sew these units together...

to make 5 blocks like this.

Cut the inner border fabric into 3-1" strips. Attach the inner border to the long sides of the runner first, then to the short ends.

Take the last 13 charms and cut at 2". You will get 2 pieces that are 2" x 5" per charm.

Sew 2 sets of 3 together and 2 sets of 10 together.

Attach to long sides of the runner first, matching center seam of runner with center seam of border. Trim off the extra
Put a pin in the center of the 3-charm strips and match to the middle seams on the short ends of the runner. Stitch. Trim off the extra.

Quilt, bind and make another one.
