Stained Glass Tulips Runner Pattern

The Stained Glass Tulips Runner Pattern by Cut Loose Press creates a striking floral quilt runner inspired by the look of traditional stained-glass windows.
With the right fabric choices, the tulip motifs truly shine, offering depth, contrast, and dramatic visual impact.
This clever design uses narrow black strips added to each tulip petal before the units are sewn together.
This technique creates the signature stained-glass outline, allowing colours to glow and stand out clearly.
When paired with a sky-blue batik background, the finished runner has such a realistic stained-glass appearance that it often requires a second look to realise it is fabric, not glass.
The pattern is fat quarter friendly, making fabric selection simple and efficient, while the manageable runner size keeps the project enjoyable without being overwhelming.
Clear, step-by-step instructions guide makers through construction, making this pattern suitable for confident beginners and experienced quilters alike.
