Spooky Fun Table Runner with Sulky - Free Pattern

Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing the Spooky Fun Table Runner. It's the perfect pattern to make for Halloween! Plus it is a FREE Pattern available at Sulky HERE. 

The Spooky Fun Table Runner is quick to make and the blocks are so fun to sew! The table runner is perfect for showing off your favorite fabric print as the alternating blocks are a square - perfect for fussy cutting! The adorable Spooky Hollow Fabric designed by Melissa Mortensen for Riley Blake Designs (here) is perfect for this pattern!

I used the fabulous Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread for piecing the Spooky Fun Table Runner and machine quilting! Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread is strong so no breakage when free motion quilting plus still thin to prevent bulky seams for piecing - it's the perfect combination! Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread - available HERE.
