Start with 3 contrasting fabrics. You need a LIGHT, MEDIUM and a DARK. Altho you see it works with red and green as long as they contrast. You need at least 14" of each fabric X ***14-15" wide*** WOF(width of fabric)***YOU do NOT need WOF unless you want a bigger runner or more sections to play with***.This amount will make a runner that is 16" X 20" without borders. If you want larger, you'll need to make additonal sections.
CUTTING:
Dark: cut 1 4.5" strip, 2 3.5" strips,and 3 2.5" strips. Stack seperately. Then from the Medium: cut 6 2.5" strips. From the Light: cut 1 4.5" strip, 3 2.5" strips and 2 1.5" strips. Now you've got 9 little piles of strips *VBS* Keep them seperated, they tend to fight.
That's it for the cutting. Keep in mind you might want one of these fabrics for the ends(borders)or binding.

Well done, Finn! It's a great runner and would work with any fabrics for anytime of year, too. Thanks for the inspiration and the lesson!
You are such a sweetie, Finn! Thank you so much for the tablerunner tutorial/pattern. Just what I need cuz I just can't think right now. :/ This I do believe I can handle, so I'm off to pull me some fabrics! :>D Loved seeing the picture of you and your GS with Tigger. ;)
