Get a head start on your summer decor with this beautiful, fat quarter friendly Paper Lantern Table Runner. This table runner will surely bring attention to any table setting with its modern design.  Students will learn how to work with cutting templates and how to achieve perfect points when working with triangular shapes.  Once you make this runner, you'll want to make one for every season!

All you'll need is eight fat quarters for the "background" and two fabrics for the "diamonds" to make this 21" wide x 69" long table runner. We'll start off the first class with a cutting and piecing session, leaving the remaining 2 classes for construction of the table runner.
