A Modern Table Runner

by Nicole

With the holidays approaching, it’s nice to have a little something to spruce up the dining table. Too often my table sits bare. To dress it up, I made this table runner using some of my favorite colors – red, pink, and orange.

With its gentle curves, the runner came together quickly.

I quilted it using a simple back and forth design that gives a nice texture to the background fabric.

Gorgeous! Very simple and elegant, and the quilting really packs a punch. I think I have this magazine, running off to see…

Oh, I love, love, love this!

Conveniently enough, I bought that magazine last night. But I haven't even gotten through it yet, so I didn't see that in there! You have validated my purchase even more. 🙂

Really nice! I love the quilted/not-quilted bits. One to go on my do-to list.

Here's how striking it is: I was in skim the first paragraph and photo mode and the photo made me go back and look again and then open the blog proper. Did I say I like it yet?

Paige November 22, 2013 - 3:30 am

Okay, this is weird. I was JUST looking at this at Barnes and Noble two hours ago!

Cynthia November 22, 2013 - 3:56 am

Love this! Looks amazing!!

Lisa Lisa November 22, 2013 - 6:20 am

That's beautiful, Nicole! I haven't tried sewing curves yet, but will definitely try that one of these days…..sooner rather than later, right? I don't think I would've put those colors together on my own, but they look great together!!!

Your photo does this runner much more justice than the photo in the magazine. I missed it in the magazine due to the photo. I saw yours and I want to make it immediately!

Hi Nicole. I love this block and runner! I'd love to make a quilt out of it! However, I miss out on a lot as I live in the Middle East! How does a girl get a hold of this pattern??? Thanks!
