This pretty little project is my Spring Meadow Table Runner which I designed for Martingale. Click here to get the Free Spring Table Runner Pattern.
First, let’s talk about fabric selection. For my runner, I chose an unexpected color palette of yellow, pink, purple and gray. I think the little florals and dots give it a nice traditional-meets-modern feeling:
You could try using some bright colors as well, to give it a “summer” feel, or try using holiday fabrics:
When making small, quick projects, there are some quick & easy things that you can do to give them a little “Wow” factor. For example, try fussy cutting the center square of your blocks like I’ve done here:
(Fussy cutting means that you cut out a particular part of the fabric pattern so that it is centered on your quilt patch.)
You can also try adding some fun embellishments. I’ve added rick rack to my table runner- you could also try adding buttons or pom pom fringe for easily adding some extra “cuteness” to your project!
Your table runner is sweet! I don’t have a favorite little project…I keep starting big ones:) Actually, I take it back, if you count baby quilts as small, they are my favorite.
My favorite small project is mini hangings – no larger than 14×14 -that I change out frequently. Most are hand embroidered or applique with hand embroidery.
My fave is working on the BOMS and pot holders for gifting.

That is an adorable table runner. The book sounds like just the thing for me..quick start to finish!
I would love to win this project it wouls be soooo awesome as I love small projects. My favourite small project would be making baby quilts.
I like making lap quilts , table runners and mug rugs
My first quilting projects were queen size quilts so my small projects now are quilted bags, lap quilts, table runners, pot holders, etc. Most of them were for gifts.
I like the table runner pattern. I’m thinking of making a quilt with that block. I am working on quilts right now. Will have 4 grandchildren graduating from high school before I know it.
My favorite small project depends on the mood – lap quilts, panel wall hangings, totes, dolls. Love them all.
I have made many small purses, Christmas ornaments and a baby quilt. I made a queen size quilt last now it’s time for some potholders and table runners!
It is hard to say what is my favorite small project— but I think it might be small rather than bed sized quilts! Perhaps this is because most of my quilts are big and seem to take forever to complete!
The smaller ones are a true joy to more quickly see the finished project!!!
Oh I just love this table runner – I plan to make it in traditional Easter egg colors – can’t wait! My favorite project (small) to make would be a mug rug.
My favorite little project is a paper pieced hexagon zipper pouch. The book looks lovely, thank you for a chance to win!

My favorite small project is a seasonal mini-quilt or table topper. I sew so slowly that nothing is that quick! I do like mini-quilts because I try to learn a new quilting skill and also improve my actual quilting.

I do have another small project I like to make – mini wall hangings. Pretty little hearts, patchwork, etc.

I love making table runners than can also be wall hangings. They can also be a bed runner for a single or double bed depending on how long they are. If you have a double window they can even be use as a window topper. If you make a slip poker in the back they can even become a bench pillow. So many ideas with a table runner! I just love the star pattern because we can use so many of your embroidery patterns in them.

Like you, I have a new granddaughter who was just 10 months old, Isabella Rose. I have been making her many things, such as sleep sac with arms and hood, putting sleeves of sleeveless onesies, and my latest is making a red corduroy jumper. She is growing so fast, depending on the manufacturer of infant clothing, she’s already into 12-18 month size. Another complication, she has gone from brief crawling to almost walking in less than a month. At this point her Mom is having problems getting her to nap-she wants to be vertical and playing instead of napping. She also already has “cut” six teeth and working on a seventh which sometime the pain keeps her up at night, which makes her “grumpy” during the day when she refuses to nap. I have yet to make her a quilt, but that is next on my list. Ahhh, the joys of motherhood-just glad I’m her “Grammy!”
I love small items such as table runners or pin cushions…tote bags….things you can get done in an evening or two…save the bigger ones for long weekends..✂️✂️✂️
j’aime bcp ce chemin de table. Je ne fais que des petits projets (les grands restent au fond d’un tiroir, inachevés!!) je fais des petits sacs et des tapis de table avec des couleurs gaies.
Amicalement
I love this table runner!! I enjoy making pot holders with a matching apron. They make cute quick gifts, and always seem to be appreciated. I look so forward to your emails and projects in my mailbox.

I love to make quick projects – mini quilts and quilted zipper and drawstring bags. This book looks like fun!
What a delightful idea! I would certainly enjoy having some fum little projects that finish quickly. I love the idea of a table runner, but I’ve never made one. I’ve only been quilting a short time and have only made one large quilt and a couple of baby quilts. Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite small project is a zippered bag. I make various sizes and all seem to be put to good use.
Don’t laugh now, but my favourite small project is stuff like machine darning towels that have small holes, or tackling something that always seems hard before you try it, like taking in my son’s jeans so they are narrow legged instead of flares. It is a quick feeling of accomplishment and my fixit pile is shrinking!
Love the table runner. Small projects includes pillows, pin cushions and small wall hangings.
This looks like a great book!!
I love making small table runners that I can use on window sills and end tables.

Something useful!

Love your tablerunner…and that is what my favorite small project is! I enjoy making for so many reasons: I can usually find enough fabric in my stash to make the top; the backing and the batting can be pieced using smaller scraps I have leftover from other projects; they are easy to make with a monthly or seasonal theme; they are small enough that I can machine quilt on my machine; and they are great practice if I am trying out a new pattern as well as to help me improve my quilting and binding skills.
I love Table Runners! Quick to make and finish!
Love your blog! Paula

I like making table runners. They make great gifts. They have instant grantification when it comes to finishing them. They allow me to make a new block to see if I like it enough to make a full quilt. They brighten a room with color. I can’t think of a reason not to like table runners.
Right now my favorite small project is pillowcases for the Million Pillowcase Challenge.
I love making mini quilts. – for gifts, and for myself. I’m working on a mini quilt wall. My most recent love is scrappy. I’ve been busy cutting up 2 1/2″ squares from scraps. I’ve also been indulging myself in buying mini charms … a kind of birthday present to myself :)

Since my retirement a few months ago, I have been trying to do more smaller projects because I want to learn new quilting techniques. So far I’ve only done a few pillows, a small wall hanging and now I doing pincushions. By far, my favorite is the wall hanging. I couldn’t find the pattern I wanted to do, and didn’t even know the name of the quilt I had seen. So I took a picture and drew it out. I haven’t quilted it yet, but the quilt top turned out exactly as I wanted. :)
My favorite small project is fabric boxes or baskets.I like to try different patterns and I use the boxes to give gifts in.

Things like sheets, curtains and table linens can all be re-purposed for bags or lining. There is always a stack of bags in my present box. I have been known to trade a meal from my adult daughter for a couple of bags. I get a cooked meal and more time to sew. Win!

Yesterday I made a lavender neck wrap-it was quick, easy and smells wonderful. Think I need to make a few more of these for my girls so they don’t take mine!

Small projects I like to sew are place mats (one can never have enough) and mug rugs. They are quick, easy and take small pieces of material to finish. It’s so wonderful they way your web site & blog have grown and golly, just look at all the responses.
I enjoy making small zippered pouches
My favorite small project is a skinny (2″x 8″), heavy (stuffed with crushed walnut shells) pin cushion. I have made them as gifts for my quilt groups and then sold many more for the same friends and others to in turn use as gifts.

My favorite small projects are always placemats! They go together quickly, cheer up the kitchen, and sooth my soul when I need a fix from something DONE! I almost always work them quilt-as-you-go, so when the piecing is done, everything is done.
Thanks for this cute small project idea.
I love to make small wall hangings and pouches. Love the colors you chose for your runner.
I have just started learning to quilt and got a machine with a good walking foot so that I could quilt my little projects.

I was just reading about this book over at Martingale’s website — thanks for the table runner pattern!

My Favorite small project is a Table Runner/Wall Hanging. I usually put a hanger on the back on the Table Runner so I can also use it as a Wall Hanging. Some of the reason this is my Favorite is I still haven’t gotten to make a Full Quilt but I am working on it with a Quilt Along with NQC so I might actually have a Quilt. Only took me 3 years to get my nerve up to do the Quilt.
I’m a very new quilter who’s been dreaming from afar for several years. Table toppers really appeal to me — they are small enough I won’t have nightmares trying to maneuver them.
I just finished some zippered pillow covers. Really cute, really fast.

I recently learned how to make mittens from old sweaters, and they’re really fun and easy, but my favorite little projects are definitely seasonal wall hangings
I love small quilts. I first started quilting using “little quilts all through the house” in the 80s. I use them for table rugs, wall hangings, accent pieces. I have been making full size quilts for the last several years, sending them out to be quilted. But my new years challenge was to learn quilting on my domestic machine. I am about 2 weeks into it. And a new fresh book with fresh ideas would be an inspiration.

I’d say table runners, placemats with matching napkins, wall hangings etc. I also started quilting in the 80’s and all my family members (I have a small family) have been and continue to be the recipients of multiple quilts. I’m a member of a quilting circle at a neighboring church and make comfort quilts for those in need of comforting.

Minis are so much fun. I’m there.
I love projects i can complete in a short amount of time. Taberunners are great and i love yours. My colors are dark & light turquoise with gray, off white, and small bits of green.
I’m always looking for small projects to make for my family members and friends! This looks like a perfect resource!

I am totally enjoying my newest passion, quilting Mug Rugs. after many years of being away from sewing except for the never ending ending, I bought a new modern sewing machine to complement my 47-year-old she.. I have made a monthly fee for the last few months and have made A couple birthday gifts. Had fun making bowl cozies for gifts and I am in the process of making baby bibs and baby burp clause for a few baby showers. This practice with my new machine is my precursor to making A quilt for my king-size bed. I am having all the old feelings of comfort return as I said at my machine.
I like to make tote bags
Small wall hangings and paper piecing are my favorite small projects. They are portable and easy to finish.
I like doing table toppers or runners. They are quick and I can experiment with new blocks and not be committed to a whole quilt. Plus, they can usually be done in a weekend….binding and all. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. It looks like a good one.
Pot Holders! So fun to see them in use at my kid’s & friend’s homes. Table runners are a great way to practice blocks and still create a usable item for the home.
Table runners or Tablemats are easily my favorites. Just something to add a colorful pop to the table top, but is hopefully too small for my family to spill anything on! :)
Just starting to finish baby blankets that I have embroidered! With some news I recently received I think baby bibs and receiving blankets are in order!!!
I like creating things especially designed for someone. For example, I embroidered a Welcome sign in Sign Language for my Sign Language instructor. I was going to make a wall quilt out of it, but she asked for a couch pillow (and loves it!!). I then make an anniversary wall hanging for my son and daughter-in-love. I’m now making a John Deere tractor quilt for my youngest grand daughter.

My favorite small project is pouches all sizes, helps tp stay organized and great for travel
Mini wall hangings and table toppers. They just take a Block or two to finish.
My favorite small project is small enough to be used as a table topper or a wallhanging. I also enjoy making zip bags and pillows.
My favorite project to make is a table runner or mug rug. I like to change my table runners for holidays or the seasons.
I just love small projects that I can display easily.
Placemats and pot holders.
I love the colors of your runner. Very springlike. I really appreciate how you explain yourself when you use terms people may not be familiar with. My crocuses are popping up, but we are supposed to get snow this afternoon. Hope they survive. My favorite quick projects are things that take no more than half hour to do. Like making plastic bag holders.
Your runner is darling! My fave small items are small 10 minute runners or potholders. Both are nice for hostess gifts AND the small runner folded nicely fits in the envelope with a card. With so very many comments on this blog it would be a miracle to win anything!
So many to choose from . . . Where do I begin? I like working on small projects and seeing them completed in a short period of time. Little bags for the grandkids, tabletoppers, towels. Then there’s also small makeup type bags, coasters, mug rugs, baby quilts. The list goes on. (-:
I like to sew pillows, little stuffed animals or potholders. The latter is the first thing I learned to sew in school (yes, I am dating myself… since the kids today don’t get Home Ec anymore). I always figure I can make potholders, whatever size (quilts, pet beds, pillows… etc.)
Mug mats, potholders, mini wall hanging (scenic) with my leftover scraps, quick baby receiving blankets, table runners for house gifts (this one is adorable and easy-peasy!). I have a nephew and his wife who just bought a new house in Seattle (moved from NYC), so many housewarming gifts are in order now!
I like to make baby quilts and table runners.
Love the purple and yellow…reminds me of crocuses and pansies!! Thanks for small project…I can only make these since I work full time!!
My favorite small projects (currently)would be wallhangings as I am working on a couple that just need the binding and hanging sleeves.
I like to make scrappy lap quilts as they use up the remains from my larger projects & I then donate them to the local rehab facility or the senior center. I must admit that sometimes I give them to a friend too.
I have two favorite kinds of small projects to make. I hope that’s OK. They are doll quilts and mug rugs. They are always very much appreciated when I give or gift them. Thank you for the opportunity to win this special book.

I like making mug rugs. This can be a good trial for a new block.
I like to make table runners and mugrugs. I love patchwork stars so I’ll just have to make the Spring table runner!
I love making bags of any kind. Lately I’ve been on a downsizing kick and have been making clutches just large enough to ho
