{Another} Stepping Stones Christmas table runner

At the Let's Bee Social this last week, I shared a mock up of the Stepping Stones block in red and green. And that was it,....  I just had to make one two!

I was so inspired while playing around on my EQ7, in laying this out in a Christmas themed colourway.... And got right to work, making the first runner for my mom using prints, which you can see here. I hadn't even finished the first one, when I found myself planning the next one made using solids!

I had a hard time choosing three reds because I didn't want to go too pink, but still wanted contrast. It was easier choosing the three greens.

For the backing I used the same fabric that I used on the Santa's Reindeer door banner I made last year, which can be seen here. I love this fabric mostly because of the cute deer. And the pops of red from those fat red cardinals!

I quilted using plain white thread on top and in the bobbin. And am so pleased with how this runner turned out! It reminds me of peppermint Poinsettias! 

This runner will be a Christmas gift for my MIL.

This second "Stepping Stones Christmas" table runner finished at 13" x 43"

and was the 16th use of my 2nd edition of 100 labels

ordered from Ikaprint.

There is a free tutorial for this Stepping Stones block here.

And the block pattern has been added to my shop here.

The block finishes at 10" square

and the pattern includes instructions for making the block

using a single colour, two colours, or in multicolour.

I have a feeling this won't be the last Stepping Stones table runner I'll be  making....
