Pine Tree Banner Christmas Table Runner

The Curvy Pine Tree Banner & Christmas Table Runner Pattern by Cut Loose Press is a clever and festive design that combines log cabin blocks with floating stars to create a charming holiday display.
Designed as either a wall hanging banner or a table runner, this pattern offers versatility while showcasing beautiful piecing techniques made easy with Creative Grids tools.
The pine tree blocks are created using the Creative Grids Log Cabin and Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tools for 4-inch finished blocks.
Because the logs are intentionally oversized and trimmed after each round, accuracy is guaranteed — every block finishes at a perfect 41⁄2 inches, allowing the project to assemble smoothly and evenly.
The stars are made using the Creative Grids Strippy Stars Tool, which forms star points from strips and squares rather than bias edges.
This technique ensures strong points and clean construction while maintaining crisp star shapes.
The floating star points create a striking visual effect while remaining easy to piece.
This project is ideal for seasonal decorating and is especially practical for homes with pets or small children — offering a festive “tree” display without fragile ornaments or needles on the floor.
With its compact size and bold design, it works beautifully as a holiday banner, buffet runner, or tabletop accent.
As with all Cut Loose Press patterns, the instructions are clearly written and broken down into simple steps that remove confusion and help quilters achieve professional-looking results.
