The second runner finished at 14" x 70". Both are now for sale in my Etsy shop.
I am sew impressed with the effect of the organic wavy matchstick quilting. It helps the runners to lay nice and flat and adds a wonderful texture. Looks like wind driven snow!
The backing is Tidings of Great Joy by Janet Wecker Frisch for Quilting Treasures. This large scale script text print tells the history of the Christmas tree. This neutral print goes well with all colour schemes.
Here is a great close up of the quilting - and my new labels from My Own Quilting Labels. I love these cute little labels!

The binding is Winter Parade by Leanne Anderson for Henry Glass Fabrics.
After quilting, I cut the corners on a 45 degree angle to add a little interest and eliminate the boxy look. I quite like those angled ends! Sew happy with each of these runners!
One more pic... Just because!
Want to make some Boxes-N-Bows blocks, too? Here are the block dimensions...

The matchstick quilting really does look wonderful. I like how you describe it as windblown snow; wonderful imagery!
Wow, Lorna, the quilting is outstanding! Thanks for the up close pictures! These are beautiful pieces.
Lorna that is 2 cute fun runners! I love the quilting and still trying to let myself go to do it. I have worked hard for along time to make things more straight and symetrical that I find it hard to let go-any tips?

Gorgeous finish! I too love your 45 degree corners. They add a lot to the runner!
I also love the quilting. It gives the runners a perfect finish.
I love your organic quilting! It suits the forest prints so well. I can see how time consuming it must have been... But worth the effort! I'm keeping the idea in a corner of my head and will try it for sure.
Beautiful! The table runners and gifts are lovely and the quilting is wonderful. Really nice.
