Looking for a table runner
 

I am looking for a pattern to make a table runner for Christmas. I have a BIG table so it's almost impossible to buy anything big enough. 47 wide X 104 long (when opened for dinner). The dishes I have has a ribbon and holly pattern. Does anything come to mind?? Or even something that can be jiggled to work?? Anything come to mind?

First of all, what pretty china.

All free patterns:

and to give you more ideas, Christmas table runners on Pinterest!

I used a bed runner pattern and it fit my long wide table just fine. It will be easy to find fabrics to match your china. For a change up for different holidays, I made three long table runners and placed them cross wise on the table.

Jenny Doan did a Zig Zag table runner with charm packs and she said you can make it as long as you like, just keep adding rows. It is on the MSQC website and it is called the zig-zag charm pack table runner.

THAN YOU AUQuilter!! I think this may be the one!! Pretty fabric on the inside and this around the sides!! Woo Hoot!!

I used this free pattern to make a long runner for my girlfriend's dining room table. I used fabric colors that would compliment her fiesta ware. I just kept adding panels until the runner was as long as I needed it to be.

I sent you a pm. Perhaps you can find one that will fit your table. It is going to be beautiful I am sure.

I was going to suggest the free pattern that lalaland did. You could double the size by starting with 18-18.5" square and using 2.5" strips for the french braid. I see lalaland added a border. That adds width, too.

Whatever you decide will be lovely with your china, but I have always wanted to make Shabby Fabrics Christmas runner using scraps and their lovely appliqued border seen here:

which would go great with your ribbon and holly patterned dishes.

Go with AUquilter's idea. Your dinnerware is so beautiful all you need is something to compliment it. Have a wonderful Christmas.

My friend made one using different sizes of the Present quilt from Jenny Doan YouTube tutorial. She said it was quick, easy and fun.

I almost have the same set! It is very romantic set up with my white crocheted table cloth and real red and white roses in a cut crystal footed bowl for the centerpiece. Old fashioned you say? I know but I love it. Not to mention the smell is amazing at the table while eating.

A casual look would be with a green plaid tablecloth. Hancock fabrics has a wonderful spearmint green plaid fabric on sale in their christmas fabrics. I bought it to make a table cloth for a whole cloth quilted look. I think will be a hit with my dishes.

I would take a black and white photo, blow it up to the right size, and then use it as a pattern for Applique in the center of long white on white piece the right length, , and maybe a smaller bouquet near each end? Classic look.

I have done several table runners using the Zig Zag Table Runner Patter from freepatterns.com The pattern provides the option to make a longer table runner than the initial one. I did a table runner (70 inches long) for my table, and I plan on doing a shorter one to match it for my buffet. Take a look at that pattern -- just a suggestion!

And, then, there's the Christmas Stars Runner from Quilt World Magazine Nov. 2002, Vol. 27, Pages 42-43. I'm not sure what site I got this from, but I know it was free! and it's beautiful!
