Poinsettia Pathway” was inspired by the warmth and brightness of holiday gatherings. The quilted table runner showcases vibrant poinsettia flower blocks, traditionally symbolic of joy and celebration, framed in deep red and festive green patchwork squares. The crisp white background, quilted with soft feather motifs, evokes the peacefulness of a snowy morning – a common backdrop for many cozy quilting rooms during the winter season.

This piece was designed during a quiet December afternoon in my quilting room, just after the first snowfall. A cup of hot cocoa beside me and holiday music playing faintly in the background – it felt like the perfect moment to create something that radiated both comfort and celebration. The challenge lay in aligning the blocks precisely to form that dynamic, offset “pathway” feel, but the result was worth every careful stitch.

This DIY project is perfect for beginner to intermediate quilters and makes a stunning gift or decorative piece during the Christmas season. If you’re searching for a quilt pattern free, holiday-themed table runner idea, this is a charming start.
