Garden Table Runner Pattern

The Garden Table Runner Pattern by Cut Loose Press is a cheerful, fast-to-make design that highlights the playful “crazy quilt” effect created with the Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool.
Using just four blocks, this runner delivers bold movement and colour while keeping construction simple and enjoyable.
Each block is built using narrow 21⁄2-inch strips and trimmed at a jaunty angle after each round is sewn.
This angled trimming creates the wonky log cabin look that gives the runner its lively, garden-inspired personality.
With only 1–3 strips of six different colours needed, this pattern is perfect for using up leftovers and turning small cuts into a striking finished piece.
Because only four blocks are required for the centre, the runner can be completed in just a few hours, making it a wonderful quick project for gifts, seasonal décor, or table accents.
For an even scrappier look, each log can be cut from a different fabric, creating endless variation and visual interest.
This pattern is ideal for quilters who enjoy ruler-guided techniques with modern results and want a satisfying project that doesn’t take days to finish.
