I got married in the fall, so to me, autumn is all
about romance and colors that range from vivid
red to bright gold. Even if you live in an area that
does not experience a change in the color, you
can make this table runner come alive with the
colors you do see. Although this pattern uses the
same fabrics in each leaf block for simplicity, you
can use up your scraps and vary the colors from
block to block.

1. Prepare foundations by copying the “Fall Ro-
mance” pattern onto foundation paper. Prepare five
foundations.
2. To create Block Z, foundation piece the first
section of one block (A1–A8). Trim this section,
being careful to retain the
1
⁄
4
-inch (.6 cm) seam
allowances. Repeat to complete the first half of all
five Block Zs.
3. Foundation piece the second section of Block Z
(B1–B6). Trim this section, retaining the necessary
seam allowances. Repeat to complete the second
half of five Block Zs.
4. Pinning carefully to match the seam allowance lines
on the foundations, pin the A and B sections of a
block together (right sides together). Sew with a
short stitch length. Repeat to complete five
Block Zs.
5. Trim each finished block to 7

2
inches (19 cm)
square, which includes the necessary seam
allowances.

6. Using the Quilt Assembly Diagram, piece four Unit
1s together to make a side border. Pay particular at-
tention to the orientation of the squares to form the
pattern shown. Press seams in the same direction.
Repeat to make a second side border.
7. Sew the side borders to the short sides of the quilt.
Press to Border 1.
8. Using the Quilt Assembly Diagram, piece 20 Unit

Quilting and Finishing
For a fresh look, make a table runner
with spring pastels instead of fall
colors.
1. Remove selvages from the backing fabric and piece
the back as shown in the Pieced Back Diagram.
Sew the two backing rectangles together using a
1
⁄
2
-inch (1.2 cm) seam allowance, along the 18-inch
(45.7 cm) edge. The result is a rectangle 18×46
inches (45.7×116.8 cm).
2. Prepare the quilt for quilting and quilt as desired.
The sample quilt was quilted in the ditch between
the leaf sections in each block, and in the borders.
The background behind the leaves was quilted with
a continuous line curvy meander.
3. Square up the quilted quilt and bind it. Add a label.
