The Braid Runner is a great looking table runner that is sewn with a "quilt as you go" method, which is really fast & easy. Measuring 17" x 52", when you are done piecing the table runner, just bind it & you're done!  It's fun to play with the fabric colors to create a 3D effect by making it go from the light center out to the dark borders.  Once you learn the technique with the table runner, you’ll be able to incorporate it into another quilt.
