How to Make an Easy Charm Square Christmas Table Runner

Not sure what to do with all of those charm squares you fell in love with at your local quilt shop? Turn some of them into an easy and fast-to-make table runner. This tutorial from Alanda Craft shows you how.

You will find written instructions for your runner as well as a video tutorial. It is always nice to have that option since some people like to read a pattern and some like to watch a video tutorial.

The blog post gives a complete list of supplies needed plus a description of all of the steps to make one table runner.

I love the festive colors used in the photos, especially the blue and white.

The GO! Diamonds in the Rough Wall Hanging Pattern shows just how dramatically clever colour placement can transform a traditional quilt block.

Designed by Lissa LaGreca of Lovingly Lissa, this 30-inch square wall hanging uses the GO! Double Star 10-inch Finished Die. Although the entire project is cut using one Block on Board die, the finished layout creates a sparkling diamond design that looks wonderfully intricate.

I love the potential for experimenting with colour. Choose rich jewel tones for a gemstone effect, bright modern fabrics for something bold or soft neutrals for a more understated wall hanging.

The pattern is currently available as a free download for AccuQuilt members. You will need a free account and the GO! Double Star 10-inch Finished Die to make it.

This is a lovely smaller project for trying the Double Star die without committing to a full quilt. At 30 x 30 inches, it is large enough to make an impact but still manageable to piece, quilt and display.
