Then you are going to lay out your fabrics. When you lay it out you start with 1 row of 2, and 1 row of 4, then 5 rows of 5, back to 1 row of 4, and 1 row of 2. If this is totally confusing hopefully the pictures will help clear it up.
You sew the charms together in rows.
Iron the rows as you complete them. Press the rows in opposite directions so they will nest together when you sew the rows.
Lay out the rows and make sure that you have your colors evenly dispersed so it is pleasing to you.
You start attaching the rows and nest your seams together.
Your first 2 rows are going to attach like this, as will the rest. You will be staggering them to get the zig-zag effect on the sides.
When you attch the 3rd row it will only stagger on 1 side as you are making the end.
Start adding your rows of 5.
When you finish adding the 5 rows of 5 you will add a row of 4 and you last row of 2 to finish the top.
Make sure you press the top well and then layer a piece of batting on the bottom, the back comes next right side up and finally the quilt top right side down. PIN WELL!
Sew around all the edges 1/4 inch in and leave an opening on one end so you can turn it. Clip off the points and clip in the “v” to the stitch line. Turn the quilt and push out all the points. Then press well. Close the opening and top stitch all around the edges. Then machine quilt in the ditch, (or any way you want) to finish the runner. I have have the finished photos stuck on my camera and I will post them as soon as I can get them off!
