This is the last in the series of Christmas 2021 gifts blogs. For my three children and and my college friend, I made table runners with matching napkins. I thought this would be a fun way to decorate for the seasons/holidays without a lot of storage space needed. I started with fall and will make a different set each year for Christmas.
The pattern I chose was Fat Quarter Table Runner II from Out of the Blue. I had made a few of these for myself and knew they were easy but fun. The pattern calls for 4 fat quarters, backing fabric, binding fabric and batting.
I wanted napkins also to go with the runner. After figuring out yardage, I bought 3 yards each of four coordinating fabrics. I then cut four fat quarters from each fabric, four 18" x 18" squares for the napkins, and the rest was for the backing and binding. On these fall ones, I bought a fifth fabric that I cut on the bias for the binding.
