Table Runner

Festive Square Patchwork as Placemat, Runner or Tablecloth

No matter the time of year, we love planning for holiday decorating. Setting a beautiful table is often a focal point. This block can stand alone as a placemat, duplicate in a row as a runner or to build into a square as a tablecloth.

Table Runner with Deep Ruffled Ends

Home décor fabric is a great choice for table linens. Motifs tend to be bigger and tones more dramatic, plus it’s thicker and more durable – good qualities for any table runner. To soften, we added deep ruffles in a handkerchief linen.

Striped Table Runner with Decorative Stitching

Start with a simple yet bold fabric, add some distinctive decorative stitching, and you can have a stunning table runner perfect for any holiday gathering or special occasion. Remember, “Life is short; use the good china!”

Patchwork Dresser Cloth with Button Accents

The idea of a dresser cloth might seem a bit old-fashioned, but it not only helps protect the wood surface from hairbrush dings and perfume spills, it also lends a lovely splash of color. Ours has a very vintage vibe.

Sparkling Holiday Table Runner

Bound all around and featuring accent bands and elegant tassels at each end, this table runner is perfect for a formal tabletop setting. It finishes at approximately 86½” x 15″. Choose a metallic cotton for the prettiest sparkle.

Small Patchwork Table Runner

At just 16″ x 30”, it’s a great size for smaller tables, breakfast bars or as the center décor on a larger table. The pretty patchwork center features four flying geese blocks. Includes a free set of matching cards + tags to download.

Two Tone Rustic Burlap Table Runner

This beautiful runner design is created with two layers of burlap joined by decorative stitching and highlighted with a splash of luxurious silk. We show it as wedding décor, but it would be lovely for a variety of seasons + occasions.

Patchwork Table Runner with All-Around Ruffle

Dig down into your scrap stash for your favorite tall and narrow pieces, fussy cut them to center the prettiest possible vertical motifs, then stitch them together into this striking table runner with a subtle ruffled edge.

Pretty Pleated Squares Table Runner

The beauty of this solid color runner is in the texture of the pleated squares side by side with plain squares. Our tutorial shows you an easy way to create mitered corners without using a separate binding strip.

Patchwork + Pom Pom Table Runner

A happy tabletop centerpiece has the potential to become a best-loved holiday tradition. Make one for yourself plus more for friends and family. We used a Layer Cake with bright poms in a coordinating color.

Elegant Quilted Table Runner

An exquisite ribbon can transform a simple rectangle of solid fabric into an elegant table runner. We quilted the center in a wide diamond pattern, and the ribbon frame extends beyond the edge at the corners with pretty loops.

Spooky Charm Pack Table Runner

Are a host of Halloween goblins headed your way? Roll out this fast and easy runner to spread out your goodies in style. The simple patchwork is made up of forty 5″ squares for a colorful grid of stripes, dots, bats, and spiders.

Floral Appliqué Table Runner & Place Mats

Be Green

This project started with a plain beige table runner and place mat set from Target. A little boring all on their own, they made the perfect background for my own custom table linens, which I embellished with fabric appliqués and sparkly trim.
