Ruffled Fall Table Runner
The Ruffled Fall Table Runner is a great way to add some festivity to your seasonal table. If you have never made a table runner before, this is a great place to start. The easy project gives your dining room a great touch of autumn. The ruffles create a great texture, while the crisp pattern gives it a fall feel. This table runner will be great for Thanksgiving too. It will last you throughout the entire fall season. You'll love the way it warms your home.

I don't particularly like the design. I am more into quilting and piecing and applique. However, this is a well-illustrated project.

I actually like this. I'm a beginner so I'm excited by all the possiblities of what I'll be able to make when I'm more experienced.

I like the design, but the three different patterns; not so much :( I do like that the project page shows the step by step instructions, that even i could prob do :)

I'm not much into table runners but I can think of other ways to use this technique.

The picture does not show great detail of the fabric, but I prefer more vibrant colors for Fall.

I love seasonal runners but I am thinking a little more color for fall.

Seasonal table runners do add beautiful festive color to the room and they are not hard to make.

Pretty! I've never seen a ruffled runner either but it would make my little dinner table look great.

Nicely done. Wish I could see more of the detail in the fabric.

Awesome looking fall runner. Looks like it would go with any table and lots of other deco...

Very pretty and could be done in a variety of materials so that you could have a different one every month.

So cute...it is time to get out all our Fall-Autumn ... I put my Dresden Plate runner on the dining table a while ago.

Fall is one of my most favorite times of the year. I Love this table runner not to hard to make and yet looks like a pro made it and you bought it at a store.

Beautiful Runner. Wish I had the time to make one but it's only 11 days until Fall. :(

Very cute - but if I make it, I would add a little more orange color fabric to it - to brighten it up a bit.

I am going to try this pattern...I like the ruffles and I need a fall runner. Thanks!

This would also be cute without the ruffling in the center to offset the texture a bit. Perhaps with a plaid that compliments the side panels.

I think this would be a great project especially if you made autumn on one side and winter on the other. Just turn it around for the next season. Then make one for summer/spring.

I too, would use a brighter fabric. Probably make several for different seasons!

I'd avoid the binding by sewing a piece of fabric on the back and turning it right side out. But I'm not a quilter. Cute project.

I have the perfect fall fabric to use for this table runner. I better get busy.

It's nice enough, although I'd make it 5 or more strips wide instead of 3.

Always felt table runners were just so much fussy fol-de-rol. This hasn't changed my mind.

Think it would be stunning in bright crisp plain fall colors, the ruffles would give it texture. Looks kinda busy with print n ruffles.

What a fun simple project for decorating! Make a few out of different fabrics for year round decor.

I like it but I think I would like it better if it were wider.....maybe even using more vibrant fall colors would increase its appeal as well.

I love table runners especially during large get-togethers, but I'm not sure I like the idea of a ruffled one. I think I would have the urge to keep trying to straighten it.

I love the table runner. It does remind me of fall. Although the temperatures outside do not! Maybe I'll have to make one of these runners to get "inside the house" to look like Autumn! Jayne, who is a native Floridian!

I really like the ruffly texture on this runner...easily a winner for the fall season!

I think the ruffles give it deminsion. Would have to see the real thing to decide if I like the effect or not.

Hmm pretty fabric but not really liking the ruffle look. Thanks for the idea just don't see myself making this one.

I don't have a table long enough to use a runner but that's really cute!

I can't help thinking it would catch crumbs - I know, no crumbs in sight, but that's my brain.

The runner looks nice but I would make it with some reds and apples! I could make it so nicely with a new machine to replace my 30 yr old Singer.

Nice for the holidays, but I think I would orange on the edges to brighten it up some. Also I have a large table and I wonder how it would look a little wider. Would the ruffles still look the same or would I have to run an extra row of stitches down the center to hold them in place.

Making it in a few minutes. It's just the touch the table needed! Thankyou!

It is sad that table runners have dropped out of style, especially holiday table runners. Good to see a new project of one.

Table runners are so pretty but with my large and unruly bunch, they tend to end up being grabbed to sop up a spill! Nevertheless, this pattern is just too pretty to pass up.
