Raggedy Quilted Christmas Table Runner

Quilted fabric sewn together to make a table runner

I love to entertain for the holidays! This Christmas table runner is the perfect decoration for my table. It is the perfect conversation starter and I feel so accomplished when I get complements on my runner. Additionally I love that I got to personalize what fabrics I used.

THIS RAGGEDY QUILTED CHRISTMAS TABLE RUNNER IS PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS! HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE IT:

Scraps or fat quarters of red, cream, and green Christmas homespun cotton fabric
Quilt batting (We like warm and natural the best!)
Basic sewing supplies

Raggedy Quilted Christmas Table Runner – Step 1

Cut out red and green fabric as well as quilt batting

The first thing you are going to do is cut twelve 6″ squares of quilt batting, twelve 8″ squares of green fabric, and twelve 8″ squares of cranberry fabric.

Two red squares with quilt batting sandwiched in-between

Next you are going to sandwich one quilt batting square in between two red squares with pretty sides out. The pretty sides are the patterned side that you want on the outside.

Then you are going to place two pins in the middle of the square. You want to do this for all of the sets of squares. There should be twelve sets of squares pinned at this point.

After you are done pinning you will sew an “X” through all three layers on each square. Make sure to start all the way in one corner and end diagonally in the other corner. There is a picture of this step above. Unlike most other quilts where the quilt top is sewn first and then the three layers are quilted to form a quilt, raggedy quilts are quilted as they are being made. You should complete this step for all of your twelve squares.

Once you are done sewing your X’s you are going to arrange your squares the way you want them to be for your table runner.

Now you are going to sew your squares together. We are going to sew one row together first, then the other. Start with the top row. Pin the first two squares together on the side seam as shown. Stitch down the side using a 1″ seam allowance. Continue this process until you have sewn all 6 together for your top row.

Then stitch your bottom row in the same manner as the top. Above is what your two rows should look like after they are sewn.

Next you are going to sew your two rows together. You want to pin them pretty sides together making sure to match seams (where you previously stitched together). Sew down the long seam with a 1″ seam allowance.

After that you are going to want to stitch a 1″ seam allowance all around the outside edges of your runner. This will help hold together your runner when you cut slits and wash/dry it.
