Canada Day Table Runner

When it's finished this table runner looks far more complicated than it actually is -- you will not be disappointed in it, guaranteed. You can make this lovely work of fabric art in either two or three colors -- the two color version is somewhat less complicated than it's three color compatriot so if you're feeling uncertain, pick it :)
