Scrap Buster Binding Tool Table Runner

I made 2 of these scrappy table runners this week. It uses leftover 2-1/2 inch black and white strips from this string quilt and this one.   These will be Christmas presents.    I may make a few more, they were relatively easy to make.  The hardest part was joining the binding beginning and ends.

 
 

Scrap Buster Binding Tool Table Runner tutorial by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilts. 

What you need:

• The Binding Tool
• 8-1/2 inch block for center
  
• 2-1/2 in strips cut to size with the binding tool
• 8   2-1/2 inch blocks for cornerstones
  
• Batting (about 1/2 yard to match backing)
  
• 1/2 yard fabric for backing
• 2-1/2 in strips for border
• 2-1/2 inch strips for binding

I did it quilt-as-you-go, stitching through the top, batting, and backing at once.  I also used wool batting leftover from another quilt, so it has some extra loft to it.
