We do this for table runners, never gave bed runners much thought before.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Might say I am locking the door after the horse is stole. I had two quilts I was very proud of one made by my mother other Great Grand mother after she was 80. Wanted to show them off on guest beds, in the up stair. Not realizing that the sun was alway on the foot. The navy blue turned white. It could have been prevent with bed runner.

I want to make one! I even bought the fabric for it...now it's just waiting to finish other projects so I can start on it. I have a pretty taupe wholecloth quilt on the bed, just want to add a layer of color to it. I am also thinking of decorative bed pillows to match.

Great idea to use up blocks that never made it into a full size project.
Just add some borders, and quilt it. Since they are usually 24 - 30" tall
you can easily machine quilt on any sewing machine. Love the idea of
using decorative throw pillows to match.

We just bought a book showing some popular patterns and are going to start working on them after the holidays. Our grandmother had them years ago and they were actually functional. They had an old two story farm house with a furnace. The second story didn't have heat except what came up from the downstairs. We used the bed runners to look nice during the day but at night we wrap them around our feet to help keep them warm.
