Reversible Table Runner! I love making these. It is two decor options in one. Just flip it over for a different look.
The quilting is simple and works well with both sides.
This post has a lot of pictures. I took so many and had trouble picking just a few.
The finished size is 16" by 48", but is easily adjustable with the addition/subtraction of blocks and strips of fabric.
Here is side B. I love this look for Christmas and I don't feel guilty spending all this time creating something for Christmas because I know that when Christmas is over, I can just flip it over and keep on using it. I love it!!!
I love the fabrics on the Christmas side. I used three Christmas fabrics and the rest are fabrics for everyday use, but they are colors that work well with a Christmas theme. (The solid used for both sides and the binding is Robert Kaufman Kona cotton in Snow)
I love the black on black polka dots (center of the picture above) from the Mama Said Sew collection by Sweetwater for Moda. I have had this fabric for a while and haven't used it yet. I need to use it more often (and maybe purchase more) because I love how well it works with other fabrics and it is pretty and sophisticated.
A quick picture of my helper (Artemis) while I was taking pictures. As soon as the camera starts clicking, his tail starts twitching because I am annoying him. He's a brat.
It is very artistic and works well as a decor fabric. The colors are beautiful and soothing.

Happy Sewing!
