Hi, this is Jenny, from the Missouri Star Quilt Company, and I just wanted to show you a fun little tip. I needed to make a table runner for my son Josh who is getting a new house. His colors are green and black.

So, I went right away to this Authentic Dessert Roll, and see it’s not very big, but it’s just absolutely adorable. So, I took the black and green ones, and I opened them up, and because they’re 40” wide, these dessert rolls are
cut the full strip of the fabric, I could get four blocks of each one of these out of it.

So, I made one table runner, and then I saw what I had left, so, I made another table runner, and saw what I had left, and made another table runner, and saw what I had left, and finally made one more table runner. Still out of this dessert roll you can see I only used the black and green, so, I had all the beiges.

So, I took those beiges, and I coupled them with this Pink And Chocolate line that came in, and made a table topper! So out of one of these Authentic Rolls I got all this, plus a little bit. The border fabric was extra, and the border fabric on the Pink and Chocolate was extra, but I just thought it was hilarious!

I thought you’d enjoy my story! Then I got looking around the shop and think how many you could make with this! Look at the size of these things! Holy smoke! Here’s one from Wyndham, look at that baby! That’s a lot of table runners right there, (laughter) but I decided I’d better stop!

Anyway I hope you enjoy this fun story and this quick tip! I just cut those 5” strips into 10” blocks, and just stacked them together, and bordered them
twice! So, I hope you enjoy this fun tip from the Missouri Star Quilt Company! One more thing, if you like our videos and tutorials, make sure that you rate them and subscribe to our channel on YouTube. Thanks!
