Merry Trees Runner

This modern runner pieced from the Villa Rosa pattern Merry Trees with modern fabrics from Midwest Textiles measures 17” x 54.” All fabrics and batting are 100% cotton.

Although the runner could be used as a holiday runner, it would also fit a modern decor anytime of the year since the colors are not traditional holiday colors and trees are not only for the holidays.

The background fabric is cream-colored with mid-century modern red and blue-gray triangles with “dripping lines.” The trees are made from coordinating red and blue-gray modern geometric prints that coordinate with the background print. The tree trunk and bindings are a solid dark gray-brown. And the border is a lovely grey print with modern stars trough out.

To back the runner, a Riley Blake white polka dot on red fabric that makes you think of snowballs.

Easy care: machine quilt cold, tumble dry low (or line dry), cool iron as needed.

Machine pieced and quilted by Margaret Spevak.
