D4P tablerunner tutorial

It started with charm squares made into a 4 patch....
I blogged about the D4P on 6/11 and 6/12....
I made 2 more D4P blocks....


I framed each one with white frosted dots...
1 1/2" strips that are 8 1/2" x 2 and 10 1/2" x 2....

I used 2" red print sashing 10 1/2" x 4 to the right and left of blocks...
2" same print 36" x 2 for top and bottom...
quilted with stars, hearts and loops....
did the binding in blue....
fun...easy...and quick...
