'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the Bee Hive
Not a needle was stirring, not even a pin
The quilts were all hung on the wall with care,
In hopes that all the UFO's would soon be there;

The stash was nestled all snug on the shelf;
While visions of projects danced in my big head;
And Anna in her PJ's, and Enzo near by,
Had just settled our hearts, at the sewing machine near by

When out of the closet there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my sewing chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the stash I flew like a flash,
Tore open the doors and threw up the cash.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But G who said, "there isn't enough fabric in here!
With a leap that was so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.

A quick table runner from scraps I sewed together...takes less than 2 hours for the top!

I cut out a panel into 6" squares (you can make it as long as you want).
I used ten 6" x 6" inch squares
18 cornerstones are cut 1 1/2" square
27 sashing strips 1 1/2" x 6"

Lay out the squares they way you like.
Sew the panel squares together with 6" x 1 1/2"  strips.
Then sew the 1 1/2" squares to the remaining 6" x 1 1/2" strips

Lay the pieces out and sew it together!  
Measure the body of table runner for boarder strips which I cut 3" wide.  
I chose to miter the corners but cornerstones would work also!
Layer and quilt and another last minute Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas! And check out my interview on http://sitandsewradio.com/episodes/ I believe will be this week!!!
