Tutorial: Table runner with contrast ends

If your home feels a little plain now that all the Christmas decorations are down, here’s a quick way to spruce it up. Krista from The Happy Housie shows how you can make a custom table runner. She pieced a contrasting fabric on to ends because the fabric she was using for the main table runner piece was too short to hang over the ends of the table. I like the effect.
