What’s the Project? Ready to bring a little fall into the house? These free fall table runner patterns are a quick way to add pumpkins, leaves, warm colors, and a little handmade goodness to your table. They’re smaller than a quilt, fun to sew, and perfect for using fabrics already hiding in your stash.
Fall Table Runner Patterns
I love decorating for fall—but I don’t necessarily want another giant tote of decorations to store for the other nine months of the year.
That’s why table runners are so good.
You can completely change the look of your kitchen or dining room with one little quilted runner, a pumpkin or two, and maybe something you “borrowed” from the yard. Done. Fall has arrived.
They’re also a really manageable sewing project. Pull out your orange scraps, those gorgeous fall prints you bought three years ago, or a few leftover charm squares and actually turn them into something you’ll use.
In this collection you’ll find fall table runner patterns with pumpkins, maple leaves, turkeys, flying geese, candy corn and more.

The table runner is extra thick so although it looks pretty its true function is as a hot pad that runs the length of your table. Now you can have a piping hot turkey and all of those yummy side dishes within arms reach of your guests without the worries of burn marks on your dining table.
Why Table Runners Are Perfect for Fall Sewing
A table runner gives you all the fun of choosing fabrics, piecing blocks and quilting—without committing to an entire quilt.
They’re also great for trying something new. Practice appliqué, make a few half-square triangles, use a favorite quilt block, or finally cut into that little bundle of fall fabric you’ve been saving.
And when the season is over? Fold it up. No giant storage bin required.
Use What You Already Have
Before buying anything, take a look through your stash.
Fall doesn’t have to mean only orange and brown. Pull in gold, mustard, rust, burgundy, deep green, cream, plaid—or whatever says fall to you.
This is also a great place for those random orange scraps that somehow multiply when you’re not looking.
