I am back at Benartex's blog, Sew In Love With Fabric, to share another fun holiday tutorial using Amanda Murphy's Sparkle line for their Deck the Halls hop! Today I'm sharing a fun table runner pattern!
You will need to make three 12 inch finished (12.5 inch unfinished) blocks for a table runner. For each block you will need:
Four (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares in your outer color (green shown in the tutorial)
Four (4) - 3 3/8 inch squares in your outer color (green shown in the tutorial)
One (1) - 4 1/2 inch square in your center color (teal and green stripe shown in the tutorial)
Four (4) - 3 inch squares in your star point color (red and grey print shown in the tutorial)
Four (4) - 2 1/2 inch background fabric squares
Four (4) - 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch background fabric rectangles
Four (4) - 3 inch background squares
Using your 2 1/2 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch rectangles to make the corner units as shown below. Make four.
Cut each of your 3 inch squares in half diagonally once. Arrange four triangles around each 3 3/8 inch square as shown below and sew together to make four square in a square units. Pay attention to the arrangement of your outer triangles -- these will form your star points! If necessary, trim your blocks to 4 1/2 inch square.
Arrange your corner units, square-in-a-square units, and center square as shown below. Sew together in rows, then sew your rows together.
Make three total Star of Wonder blocks.
From your background also cut:
Four (4) strips 1 1/2 inches x 12 1/2 inches
Two (2) strips 1 1/2 inches x WOF
Lay out your blocks and background strips as shown below and sew together for your table runner top.
Quilt and bind as desired.
I love how perfectly festive it is!
You can use this basic table runner pattern with any 12 inch finished blocks (12.5 inches unfinished), so if you have your own favorite blocks, you can switch them up!

ReplyDeleteAlison, this is a beautiful runner! The center would be a perfect spot for a pretty applique or a hand-stitched design. I have always loved Winter Wonderland by BunnyHIll Designs...that red and white always is so festive!

ReplyDeleteYour table runner is stunning. Celebrating Christmas is a favorite fabric line of mine. I love the colors in the bundle. Thank you for a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI like lots of different Christmas fabrics, especially those designed by Kate Spain. And I recently got a print (from Kanvas/Benartex) with super cute red birds in Christmas hats that is high on my list of favorites.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite Christmas line.
ReplyDeleteI am always thrilled with just about anything Hoffman because their Christmas fabric usually contains metallic. I am like a squirrel... i love shiny things! You've got a seriously cute table runner, too!
ReplyDeleteI just started quilting..i love all fabrics !
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas fabric lines are the batiks.

Love this fabric! Thank you for the giveaway! I don't know any "lines." I have a mix of modern Christmas fabrics that I've been wanting to sew into Christmas quilts for years. Maybe I will get them done in 2017!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously thinking of getting some of the Santa print from the C&S Garland collection, but like the non-traditional lines for the most part.

I like all Christmas fabric but several years ago Northcott had this great Angel fabric I loved.
ReplyDeleteDear Mister Claus. I normally don't remember fabric lines (especially for christmas prints since I just buy random ones I like) but that was one of the few lines where I liked a lot of the prints (and used them sparingly). (had to google to make sure I had the name right and STILL love that fabric!)

ReplyDeleteDon't really have a favorite line, but the colors in the Bonnie and Camille fabrics always work wonderfully for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteallisonpogany at gmail.com
Hmmm...this is a hard question! Laurie Wisbrun had a collection with llamas in wintry garb that I remember loving, but mostly I like very traditional prints. I think Three Sisters had one when I first started quilting that I especially loved, but I don't remember the name of it. I simply love Christmas fabric. Basic Grey has had a couple of great lines recently.

Lovely fabric! I fell in love with a Kate Spain Christmas line right when I started quilting, but at the time I didn't realize that collections are hard to find once they're out of print, sigh. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Christmas fabrics are the VIP/Cranston prints from the 80's and 90's. Their reds and greens are the epitome of Christmas colors. I wish they would reissue them. Your block is great and your runner is wonderful. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! nbhilyard @ att.net

ReplyDeleteI love Christmas fabric--all Christmas fabric. I don't seem to have a favorite
ReplyDeleteI stopped buying holiday themed fabrics a couple of years ago. I now only buy the colors to coordinate with the season. I do have and love Kate Spain's In From the Cold. I am still trying to decide what to make with them after the stockings I made last year.
ReplyDeleteI really love Amanda's Sparkle fabric collection. But, other than that one, my favorite for awhile was Jingle by Kate Spain. That's such a fun holiday fabric collection
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin' and via email notification. I was also going to say I follow on Facebook until I checked and found that I wasn't, BUT I am now. :)
ReplyDeleteI generally do not pay attention to which fabric line or manufacturer, I choose a bit here and there based on whether I like a fabric color or design or image. I guess I prefer a scrappy, eclectic look to my quilts.
ReplyDeleteI follow you via email.
ReplyDeleteI love any Christmas fabric that looks vintage - like from the 40s or 50s - especially if teal and red are included!
