Zig-zag Star Christmas Runner

This is a quick and easy runner using just 3 fat quarters and 0.5m of background to make four blocks. The completed runner as shown measures 50 x 14 inches but you can make it bigger by adding another, or a wider, border and even longer if you add 'pointy' ends.
This was taught as a 'runner-in-a-day' class and most students had the top finished within the time - choosing fabrics took the longest!
It will look great in other colours too - you could make one for every season.
