Everyone still glued to their televisions watching the Olympics?? I know I am!! At least when I am not glued to quilting!! So I have a new favorite little thing…Moda Turnovers. I LOVE them!! I think they have been around for a while, so I am super late to this party. I am guessing I never paid much attention to them because I was not sure what I would do with a stack of triangles. Now I am realizing the possibilities are endless. As Candace pointed out in the comment section, they are calorie-free…what is not to love??? π
I made TWO runners out of one Turnover!! For those of you unfamiliar, this is what they look like.
I used a Turnover of Civil War Homefront by Barbara Brackman for Moda. I sewed all my triangles together to make 40 half square triangles.
Easiest HSTs I have ever made!! Sew two HSTs together to make two hourglass blocks. Sew the hourglass blocks together to make a runner. Then quilt, bind and wash! So easy!! A fast and beautiful runner!
I just quilted a freehand allover design. Fast and easy, but gets the job done.
I used a Jo Morton fabric for the back. The binding is some reproduction fabric from Marcus Brothers I had in my stash. I think it is probably 10 years old!!!! It was one of the first fabrics I bought when I started quilting!!
The patriotic heart and star bowl fillers are more wonderful creations from Denise at KKL Primitives. As well as the Bird Nodder. He is a personal favorite of mine!! π Denise always has beautiful things to sell on her blog here.
Runner looks nice on the dinning room table, but I like it on the hearth better. Or I could even use it on my eventual wall of small quilts. π It is nice to have options.
I picked up some vintage rolling pins last spring. They make great fillers for crocks!!
I mentioned earlier that I made 2 of these Turnover runners. The other is a gift for my best pal Patti. Today is her birthday!!!!! I won’t tell you how old, but I will give you all a hint…it starts with a 5 and ends with a 0. LOL!!!! Here’s to 50 more, my dear friend!!! π
I think you know how much that means to me. Especially the next 50. Love you girlfriend.
Lovely little runner! I've not used turnovers for quilting…only ever eaten them π !!
Love all the primitive goodies and for your dear friend, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 50 is the new 30 π That's my story and I'm sticking to it….as I head to 51:/
Happy Birthday to Patti! She's going to love her little runner, Linda! They are so cute! I've ignored these turnovers, too, but now that I see they are calorie-free, the sky is the limit!
Cheers!
You know, I have never bought turnovers before. I just got introduced to charm squares. I have a bunch of cute charm square packs that I should make a couple of runners out of it. Your runner is so adorable that I should really try that. Your friend Patti I am sure will love hers and Happy 50th to her!
I've never seen a turnover before. Great looking small project.
They are great! Happy Bithday to Patti. 50 is the new 30. I keep telling myself this because I will be 50 soon.
Love the runner. Great way to use the turnovers. Hugs,
Love your runners and all your pictures! You are quite the photographer…love it all!
Beautiful!!
I love all your decorations in your home – you have such a great sense of style.
I have never thought of putting a runner on the hearth – great idea.
Happy Birthday Patti!
. . . .Now that I have my internet back. . .gonna be shopping for those littlr turnovers tomorrow. I think you've re-energized the turnover business. Can't believe our Patti is 50. I still remember her as a tot in a wooden encyclopedia box! Your birthday gift to her is beautiful.

Yes, we are glued to the Olympics too! Watching Beach Volleyball right now! Your runner is beautiful! I've never used a turnover…..I'll have to be on the lookout for some. Happy birthday to Patti π
Your table runner is Awesome! I've never worked with turnovers before. Now I'm anxious to purchase a few! Thanks for sharing.
So sweet! I've never bought turnovers either!!
Love your decor too:)
Happy birthday and hugs to Patti! Sorry I missed the b-day, Patti! I love your runner. I have passed on turnovers before, too. But now you've turned me on to them. Bad girl. Like I needed that. Your decorating is so great. Wish I could put things together like you do.
Love the tablerunners and Patti is a lucky girl to receive one for her b'day! I love turnovers and have several stacks in my stash.
Love the crocks with the rolling pins!
Hugs,
Donna
You have such pretty displays. I love the rolling pins. I've never used a turnover but they certainly do seem to have endless possibilities. Pretty projects.
I love your table runner! Happy (belated) birthday, Patti!!
