Onyx in Autumn Table Runner Pattern
Good Morning! My name is Jessica Dayon and I’m so happy to be here today to share a free table runner pattern with you! I have been working on a really fun table runner series to share with you on WeAllSew and today I am sharing the first table runner pattern in this series.
Up until earlier this year, I never made a table runner! Can you believe that? I’ve always focused on big quilts and love making them. However, at the beginning of this past summer, I made 2 table runners and rotated them all summer long. Seeing them on my table daily brought me so much joy! Now that autumn is upon us here, in the Northern Hemisphere, I decided I needed to make an autumnal table runner to enjoy. I came up with the design I’m sharing today- Onyx in Autumn Table Runner.

The main technique used in this runner is stitch and flip corners. If you aren’t familiar with that method, here is what I do.
Stitch and Flip Corner Tutorial
First, gather the pieces you need to make the portion of the block you are working on. I am going to make one of the pumpkins.
Lay the top piece on top of the bottom piece, right sides together.
Then you sew from one corner to the other, in a diagonal line. If desired, you can draw the line with a pencil using a mechanical pencil and ruler before you sew. After that, you can sew on the pencil line.
After you sew, trim 1/4″ away from the seam line.
Flip the corner open. Finger press or press with an iron.
I use the easy corner triangle method to make each of the corners on the pumpkins and top of the stems.
When I sew easy corner triangles, I love to use BERNINA foot #34D.
When the easy corner triangles for the first pumpkin and stem are completed, sew the pumpkin together as shown in the photo in the pattern.
When I need to sew a 1/4″ seam, my favorite BERNINA foot to use is #57D.
Continue following the pattern to make the remaining pumpkins, kitty, leaves, and border.
Quilting the Runner
After the top is together, it’s time to quilt it! I’m using my Q 24 with Q-matic to quilt this runner.
After I loaded the quilt on the frame, I designed on a pantograph to use. I chose Ginger Snap by Apricot Moon Designs.
The Q-matic and Q 24 went to work stitching out the design! I love watching it stitch out!
Completed Autumn in Onyx Table Runner
Here is how it turned out!
I am so happy with how it turned out! The pantograph stitched out beautifully.
Thank you for following along with me today! I hope you love this table runner as much as I do and that you enjoy making it!

Hi.. Loved making this runner… great design! I do have a few comments:
white fabrics: for the leaves: only needed 24 (not 32) of the 1.25″ squares, and only needed 12 (not 16) of the 1.5″ squares.
Also, I can’t recall now, but had an issue with the width of ONE of the stems… easily solved, though…
In addition, you didn’t mention pressing directions, but I found it easier to reduce bulk by pressing flippy corner seams open. Also, for the leaves, pressed all seams in the top row to the left, middle row to the right, bottom row to the left… this really helped reduce bulk and might be helpful to others to know this.
Thanks for a great pattern – gonna go post a pic of my finished top in IG now…

Love this pattern. Downloaded and headed immediately for my stash. Couldn’t wait for the video tutorials. Went rogue. Since I don’t have a long arm, I quilted using ruler work ribbons to simulate wind.
