Christmas Table Runner Squared

If you are like me, you think about making Christmas projects on December 1, but let's do it differently this year!  This is a quick and easy table runner project that can be easily expanded to make it longer (just add more blocks) using a jelly roll so there is less cutting.  This table runner can be made in less than a weekend and it will feel so good to have something pretty for the holidays ready so early.

I love how Winterberry by Kate and Birdie is seasonal yet doesn't scream Christmas so I can use this table for the winter season!
