There are fewer than two weeks until Thanksgiving, and many quilters have found themselves still searching for the right table decor. The editors at FaveQuilts realize how stressful things will be in the next few days, so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite table runner patterns that only require a few hours to make.
Quick Patchwork Thanksgiving Table Runner
With classic autumn tones, the Quick Patchwork Thanksgiving Table Runner pattern will pop with accents of bright colors that complement the dark, solid linen used. This is one of the best options for beginner quilters still working on their piecing techniques.
Pumpkin Table Runner
Many fall-inspired quilted table runner patterns have themes that will look right at home on a Thanksgiving table. Nothing helps to celebrate a plentiful amount of food than the harvest pumpkins on the Pumpkin Table Runner that you can piece together and embellish with spiraling free motion quilting patterns. A design like this can be used all season long, so you’ll be saving yourself time, money, and fabric by making one.
