Lil' Helena - Table runner pattern 227

The instructions for the 5" squares made this come together much faster than I expected, and the Stripology ruler tips were a lifesaver for keeping my seams straight. I love how the dark and light fabrics create that vintage look without needing complicated piecing.

I sewed this up in an afternoon using my 5-inch square stash, and the Stripology Squared Mini Ruler instructions made the cutting a breeze. The finished runner looks much more intricate than the simple piecing should allow—perfect for a beginner who wants an impressive result.

The 5" squares layout makes it so much easier than other patterns I've tried, and the border fabric really ties it together nicely. Finished mine in an afternoon with the Stripology ruler—felt very rewarding.
