The design and shaded cream center with the red and green stars at the end gives such an elegant touch to your table. Very pretty.

I think the different white strips are really elegant in this runner! Nicely done!

loisf 11-06-2012 09:31 AM

There is a pattern, kind of, in a book, but the book's at home and I'm at work. I can post the name later tonight, but I think it could be made easily without a pattern.

I found a block that looked like a poinsettia, but you can use any 10 or 12 inch block that you can set on point. The 12 inch block makes a pretty wide runner, so unless your table is quite large, I'd go with the 10 inch. The cream-colored strips are 1.5", 2" and 2.5" wide and can be cut from the width of various fabrics. Mine were left-overs from a tree skirt I had made. You piece them on alternating sides of the block like a log cabin until you get the length you want on the outside edge. Then you trim them the same diagonal width as the block and across them for the center seam of the runner. The border was 3.5" wide, as I remember.

I'll try to remember to post the name of the book and the name of the block I used tonight. I bought it about 5 or 6 years ago, but maybe it's still available. Thank you all again for your kind comments.

Welcome Loisf and Fabric Heaven from Northern California. The runner is just lovely. I also am doing table runners for Christmas and I believe that I have my new pattern, (hope you don't mind). Thanks for sharing.

very pretty I like how you did the middle part

debcavan 11-06-2012 12:35 PM

That is so pretty especially with the different off white strips and the fussy cut cardinal block in the center of the star.

Babs194068 11-06-2012 12:37 PM

Very elegant. Nice job.

Very nice. Bet it makes you smile each time you look at it!
