A Riley Blake Christmas

Several years ago someone gave me a Riley Blake "Alpine Wonderland" charm pack, but I never knew what to do with it.  Every Christmas I always thought about it, but never used it until I saw a fun Zig Zag Table Runner Tutorial from the Missouri Quilt Company.  I have a "Favorite Things" party I'm going to this week and I thought it would be fun to stuff my stocking with a Christmas table runner among other treats. 

Sewing charms together is incredibly fast and simple, but I had a bunch of other things I (cough) was supposed to be doing instead of starting a new sewing project, so I didn't get around to layering it and quilting it until the following day.  Technically speaking I didn't have a whole lot of time to spare that day either, but I really wanted to work on it, so my home just remained a little dirtier yesterday, and my to do list got a little longer.   

 The stitching is just stitch in the ditch, so it's nothing fancy, but it's still really cute.  I made the backing a bit more traditional, so that if you just wanted the normal Red and Green it would look nice flipped on the back as well.

Now it's time to conquer that To-Do List!!
