Moda Fabrics Woodland Holiday Table Runner and Bed Runner Quilt Pattern – Downloadable PDF

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Moda Fabrics includes complete directions for two distinct projects: a Table Runner and a Bed Runner. Both designs share the same foundational piecing approach and are built around a coordinated palette of holiday-inspired fabrics from the Woodland Holiday collection by Moda Fabrics. The table runner finishes at 24" x 62½", making it an ideal centerpiece for a dining table or sideboard during the holiday season.

Projects Included

Woodland Holiday Table Runner

The table runner is sized at 24" x 62½" and is constructed using a repeating strip-piecing and square unit method. The design incorporates multiple fabric selections from the Woodland Holiday line, including specific prints identified by Moda SKUs such as 32284-11, 32289-21, 32289-15, 32281-11, 32281-12, 32286-13, 32283-14, and 32285-14. These fabrics are combined in a structured layout of center strips and background squares to create a cohesive, festive runner suitable for holiday decorating.

Woodland Holiday Bed Runner

The bed runner follows the same piecing logic as the table runner but is scaled up in length and complexity. It requires cutting a greater number of strips and squares across multiple fabric groups. The pattern organizes fabrics into numbered groups — including background fabrics (Fabric 4 and Fabric 5), green prints (Fabric 6 and Fabric 7), and red prints (Fabric 8) — and directs the quilter through a series of clearly labeled sets and steps.

Techniques Used

Both runners are constructed using classic strip piecing and square-in-a-corner (also known as snowball or folded-corner) techniques. These are foundational quilting methods that allow for efficient, accurate construction of repeating geometric units.

• Strip cutting: Fabrics are cut into precise 2½" strips and 6½" strips for the bed runner, and 4½" center strips for both projects, totaling 20 center strips across the design.
• Square pairing: 2½" x 2½" background squares are paired with center strips from coordinating fabrics to build each pieced unit. Specific pairings are called out — for example, (8) Fabric 4/6, (8) Fabric 4/8, and (4) Fabric 5/7.
• Repeating unit construction: The bed runner is organized into three distinct sets — Set 1 (Make 8), Set 2 (Make 4), and Set 3 (Make 8) — each progressing through four numbered steps to build the complete block.
• Strip assembly: The pattern calls for a total of 20 strips for the bed runner, comprising 12 green and 8 red strips, which are then arranged and sewn together to form the full runner length.
• Binding and finishing: The pattern includes finishing instructions with a finishing strip binding method, with guidance on aligning edges, folding, and attaching the binding to the back of the quilted runner.

Stitches and Quilting Methods

As a quilting pattern, construction relies on a consistent ¼" seam allowance, which is the standard for precision patchwork. Units are assembled by machine sewing straight seams, pressing seams open or to one side as directed, and then joining the completed units into rows before final assembly. The finished top is then layered with batting and backing before quilting and binding.

Materials

The pattern is designed specifically for use with Moda Fabrics Woodland Holiday quilting cotton prints. Eight distinct fabric SKUs are referenced, covering a range of holiday greens, reds, and neutral background tones. Standard quilting supplies are required, including:
