Christmas Eve Table Runner

Adobe Systems

It's a stunning block with lots of little pieces that look really difficult to construct, but you'll be amazed at how easy it really is, once you break it down into it's individual parts. I'll show you how to do that, and I'll also show you several different ways that you can put it together. We'll work on the table runner size in class, but you can make it larger if you like. Christmas Eve block designed by Jennifer Chiaverini, from The Christmas Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini, published by Simon and Schuster, New York, NY 2005.
