Delft Tulips Table Runner

Delft Tulips Table Runner measures 15 1/2” wide x 42” long. All fabrics in runner are 100% cotton and are only blues and white/ecru in color.

This pieced runner only appears to have curved pieced tulips due to a peeled-back piecing technique similar to that used in a cathedral window quilt. An extra diagonally folded square is pieced into the blocks where a curve is desired. Then the bias folded edge is “peeled back” and stitched down creating a mock pieced curve.

Another unique design feature of this runner is the gracefully curved corners. A bias cut binding, means the edges lay nice and flat. A blue rose border stripe print backs this runner, making it as pretty on the back side as the pieced front side. Background areas are machine stipple quilted.

Easy care: machine wash cold, tumble dry low (or line dry), cool iron if necessary.
