Welcome to all the new viewers who are blog-hopping along with SewCalGal's Fall Themed Accuquilt Blog Hop!!! Thanks SewCalGal for another great hop! I hope that you like my project and Give-Away! But, you'll have to wait until the end to get to the give-away ;-) I hope that I can keep you entertained until then.
For my project I decided to do a simple Fall table-runner featuring a few Accuquilt Go! dies; but, if you don't yet have a die cutter this can still be cut out with a rotary cutter.
Ok - let's get Going!!
Approimate Fabric Amounts
4 x 0.25 meter of fabric for the chisels0.20 meter of a neutral fabric
0.15 meter of fabric for the first border
0.70 meter of the pumpkin fabric for the second border and binding
First let's start off with 4 x 0.25 meter cuts that will form your chisels. Place your fabrics right sides together (to get mirror image shapes) and cut two thicknesses of fabrics to get 4 chisels total - 2 of each mirror image. To cut, place the selvage edge along the outside of the long edge of the chisel die so that the length-wise grain runs perpendicular to the rollers.
Next grab your 3.5" square die - or cut these with a rotary cutter - and cut 8 x 3.5" squares of a neutral fabric. Also cut one square 6.5" of your neutral fabric using either your 6.5" square die or your rotary cutter.
Grab your new pumpkin die - or the Fall Medley die if you prefer something else - and cut 4 of the small pumpkins. I layered 4 layers all right sides up so that all of my pumpkin tops would be the same way.
Applique the pumpkins onto the 6.5" square in the layout shown - or choose your own layout. I used a 40 weight rayon thread in orange and used a blanket stitch to applique mine down.
Lay out your pieces as show on both sides of the applique. See how the mirror image chisels make a really nice braid effect?
Sew one square end of the chisels to the 3.5" squares. And, sew the other end of the chisels to the 6.5" square. Then, starting with a chisel without a 3.5" square attached, working outward, sew the chisels onto the 6.5" square one at a time, butting seams, until you get to the last of the 4 layers.
Using your 1.5" strip die cut 4 strips 1.5" by the width of fabric and add on the first border - start with the two long sides first and then add the points.
Cut 4 strips 3.5" by the width of fabric for the outer border and add those on in the same method as the first border .
Quilt as desired. I quilted a 1/4" in on the chisels, using a 40 weight rayon thread, top and bobbin, and then I quilted a dense pebble design in the cream squares for some dimension. I looked at my border fabric and tried to emulate the swirling pumpkin vine with my quilting in the border. I hope this close-up gives you a better idea of my quilting.
So what do you think? I think this is a quick and easy table-runner that would look good in any season of fabrics - Halloween, Christmas, Easter etc.
Now onto the GIVEAWAY!! How would you like to win a die-cut FABRIC kit for everything for the top and binding of this table-runner? NOW CLOSED
Yes, everything you see pictured there - ok NOT the Go! cutter - just the fabric LOL! All the fabric you'll need for your own fall table-runner. You just need to supply the sewing, thread, backing and batting.
Ok here's the fine print!
For one chance to win you can comment on this post. Tell me why you would love to win the kit or what you would do with the finished product.
For a second chance to win, become a follower and leave another comment here for a second entry. If you already follow my blog that's fine just leave a comment here telling me that you do.
Every comment is your entry - 1 comment one entry ;-) You have a total of two chances to win.
Please, please make sure your blogger is not set to no-reply!!!! Please see a previous post here on how to make sure that you are not a no-reply blogger! If a no-reply blogger is chosen then I will be forced to draw another name and I really don't want to do that! GOOD LUCK!!
I will draw a winner, using a random number generator on Sunday - after the hop is all finished.
If you have any questions you can also leave them here and I will do my best to answer them!
Want to keep hopping? Please see my last post for the other blog-hoppers participating.
Good Luck! NOW CLOSED

I would love to win your giveaway. I would certainly make this tablerunner...in the autumn fabrics and possibly in other fabrics. I have all the dies except the pumpkin.
strain.marilyn@yahoo.com
I would make a table runner similar to yours, except have no GO! I'm one of those "wishful hope to win one someday" quilters. My mother might volunteer to freehand cut out some appliques though. Thanks for the chance.
Oooh it is gorgeous, I just adore the pumpkin fabric, it would look fantastic on my dining table :)
Such a cute idea---would love to win the dies and such. Could see it done for different themes.

I love your table runner and have been wanting to make one to "spruce" up my dining area. I just bought an accuquilt go and love it as I have neurological problems.So far I only have a couple of the basic dies but would love to be able to do some different kinds of table runners to change with the seasons. I would also use the dies to make a wall hanging for the holidays.I'm new to your blog but love your ideas .
I'm a follower now! Love your blog.
I think that table runner would look pretty nice on my table and I don't have those dies, so . . . . though you have inspired me and I think I may need that chisel die.
And I'm a follower!
I adore your table runner and would definitely make it if I won the fabrics! I love the fall colors.
I would definitely make that table runner.. I love Fall, and that pumpkin fabric that you used as a border is just divine.

Hi Katrina,
I am a follower.
I'm telling you I would never have thought to use those dies to make that table runner....what a beautiful table runner. Why would I want to win the fabric? Well....I probably wouldn't make the table runner unless I won the fabric...then I'd be "forced" to have it for the fall holidays.
Thanks so much for the tutorial and the opportunity to win your lovely fabrics.
Smiles,
Kelly
