Another Christmas Table Runner

This is another Christmas table runner but, again, my photo color is a little off.  The yellow monks cloth is actually a soft shade and not intense as shown.  I used only green and red for the design and adjusted the pattern to suit what I wanted.  

I have to admit that I made a horrible mistake with this runner.  I completed the whole pattern on one side before doing the other side and then, somehow, left out part of the pattern.  I had to pull out about 2 hours worth of work but then decided to change the pattern instead of repeating it.  I had lost interest and heart and just wanted to finish it and put it away.  We all have moments like this where we make a stupid mistake because we aren't rechecking our work.  Sometimes it's an easy fix and sometimes it just has to be removed and redone.  If this had been an afghan that was half finished, I would have removed the mistake and redone it properly but it's not so important with a table runner.

Lesson learned and relearned...always check and recheck your work.
