I made several of these and will give as Christmas gifts. I think it's such a stunning table runner. It's not hard; just time consuming, but fun to see it go together. I wanted to make the tree skirt pattern on the back of the ruler but DH tossed the paper the ruler was on (with the pattern). He was trying to be 'helpful' when we were cleaning up my sewing area. Didn't realize it was gone until I had my fabric selection made!
