#17483
Overview
Get ready to plant yourself in front of your Sizzix eclips2 Machine. Just one look at this creative project and see how your imagination grows! Create the Flowers Table Runner by following the instructions below.
Fabric Requirements:
| Yardage | Fabric | Cutting Instructions |
| 1/2 yd | Cream | Cut (1) 17" x 44" rectangle for the background |
| 10" | Aqua blue* | |
| (2) 10" squares | Gray* | |
| (6) 10" squares | Assorted prints* | |
| 22" x 48" | Batting | |
| 3/4 yd | Backing fabric | |
| 1/4 yd | Binding fabric | Cut (4) 2 1/2" wide Strips x WOF |
| 1 package | Lightweight fusible adhesive | |
| 1 roll | Freezer paper |
Notes:
- Finished Size: 17" x 44"
- All seam allowances are 1/4" unless noted.
- WOF = width of fabric
- * = Adhere fusible adhesive to back of fabric before cutting the shapes.
Cutting the Shapes:
- In eCAL2, go to the eshape store, and search for flowers. Purchase the shape shown above or a similar shape.
- While "Keeping Proportions" checked, enlarge the images to 11.641" x 10.972".
- "Ungroup" the images, and group them together into color groups. Position the images close together for less fabric waste. "Group" the images back together to make moving them around on the virtual Cutting Mat easier.
- Turn the "Layer" off the shapes you will not be cutting. Use "Preview" to ensure what will be cut.
- Place the gray fabric, fabric side down, onto the Fabric Cutting Mat. Press firmly.
- Load the Fabric Cutting Mat, and cut when ready. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
- Cut. Pull shapes and leftover fabric off the Fabric Cutting Mat.
- Repeat cut for an identical vase.
- Repeat steps 4-7 to cut the aqua blue vase reliefs. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
- Repeat steps 4-7 to cut the green leaves. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
- Repeat steps 4-7 for each of the assorted flower colors and centers. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
- Repeat steps 4-7 to cut flower petals out of freezer paper for a quilting template. Use the blue paper Cutting Mat instead of the Fabric Cutting Mat.
Assembling the Project:
- Place the vase, flowers and leaves on one end of the 17" x 44" background.
- Heat fuse in place with an iron.
- Repeat a similar layout on the other end of the 17" x 44" background.
- Heat fuse in place with an iron.
Finishing:
- Layer the backing, batting and quilt top. Quilt by hand or machine as desired. For this quilt, freezer paper was cut in the flower petal shape to use as a quilting template.
- Sew the binding strips together to form one long strip. Fold the binding in half lengthwise, with wrong sides together, and press.
- With a 1/4" seam, sew the raw edges of the binding to the edges of the right side of the quilt. Turn the folded edge of the binding to the back side of the quilt, and stitch in place by hand, mitering the corners.
