A Christmas Table Runner

I've made two table runners using fabric from the Holly's Tree Farm collection.  Today, I wanted to share the first table runner that I made a few years ago using a jelly roll and some yardage.

Here is the link to the recent table runner I finished using leftovers and a very nice zigzag quilting design done on my home sewing machine. It's surprising how different the two look.

Christmas Table Runner II

I was trying to make the middle really angled, ran into some problems and went thru quite a bit of the jelly roll - argh!  Again I used a bunch of the gray print with the trees.  I did straight line quilting on my home sewing machine using gray thread.

Does this one look more Christmassy? Which one do you prefer?
