Charm Pack Holiday Diamonds

Simple Piecing To Create A Diamond Display.

The center of the runner features a striking diamond motif, with angled ends that repeat the diamond shape. A charming and versatile design that’s perfect for using charm packs, 5″ precut squares, or scraps.

 

The pattern’s diagrams help with the arrangement, showing where to place light and dark pieces to create the diamond effect. Selecting a light-to-medium contrast background fabric (or fabrics) will make the diamonds stand out. Festive reds, greens, metallics or seasonal prints make a striking holiday table runner, although a scrappy palette, or neutrals with one accent colour would suit the versatile design, and for any season.

Piecing is straightforward with standard patchwork techniques. Simple square units and half-square triangles (HSTs) make this perfect for a beginner as you don’t need to dive into complex piecing methods, just sew, press, and join.

Fabric used for the featured table runner is Holiday Flourish Colorstory.

The compact width,16″, makes it easy to handle under the sewing machine, and the pattern includes helpful quilting tips.
