Celebration Runner Holiday

A Holiday Runner That Sparkles With Festive Details

The Celebration Runner Holiday pattern, designed by Ariga Wilson for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, showcases a blend of elegance and traditional holiday charm. Measuring 24” x 68”, the runner is perfectly sized to fit most dining tables or serve as a stunning statement piece on longer surfaces.

The centerpiece uses fussy-cut 9½” squares from a festive panel collection, each rich with holiday motifs such as ornaments, winter flourishes, greenery, and metallic accents. These squares are beautifully framed with narrow borders to make every block stand out.

What makes this runner truly special is the eye-catching flying geese outer border. These rows of meticulously arranged geese create movement, color contrast, and a beautiful frame around the center blocks. The pattern includes flying geese in several colors to keep the layout dynamic and visually engaging.

One of the best features of this pattern is that it includes three different color stories:
