Choose-Your-Cheer Table Runner Tutorial
I have been wanting a holiday table runner for the sideboard in my dining room, but couldn’t decide on what design I wanted to include. The result: the Choose-Your-Cheer Runner! With this pattern, I’ve included two different Christmas inspired quilt blocks to choose from. You can make two of the same block like I did or mix and match.
Below is a shot of the tree version that I currently have on display (note - you can find a pattern for the Jolly Holiday Wreath wall hanging in my shop).
But I also adore this presents version - so cute and cheery!! The other great thing about this pattern is that it is easily adjustable in length. This particular version finishes at 14” x 34” to fit my needs, but if you’d like a longer table runner, simply change the size of the background fabric between the two block. I think this would look great as a nice long runner with the blocks hanging off the ends of a table.
Here’s a closer look at the tree block. These are perfect for using up scraps and I also love the sweet snowflake fabric I used for the background.
The present block is quick and easy, and there are so many possibilities for fabric selections when picking out the wrapping paper and ribbon fabrics! You can choose colors to match your holiday decor, pick your favorite novelty print or do some fussy cutting.
Now I’m all set for the holidays (at least when it comes to our home decor…the shopping isn’t quite done yet 😉).
