The spare room also has an offwhite quilted spread (again confession time - made in China), and I use it as a backdrop for various quilts I have made. Will I be kicked off the board for such an admission? :oops:

I have started doing my beds like the hotels do theirs. Much easier to make up, Right now I have a quilt folded at the end of the bed but I plan to make seasonal bed runners for all my beds. And I want to make some holiday ones too.

What a great idea! I'm going to try making one for my king bed. I also like the idea of using one to cover the pillows. I'm wondering how long the sides should hang down. I love this board! So many talented people who are willing to share ideas with others...thank you all!

When we went to Hawaii (my son is in the Navy and is normally in San Diego, but had to take a class at Pearl Harbor, and my husband offered that we go to visit him there - oh, to have such problems) our hotel room had 2 beds, and both had runners, an idea I had never seen before. I just thought they were there to protect the bedspread from our 'stuff', but came home thinking that would be such a great idea. We have a king sized bed, and I picture a plain colored bedspread, with a quilted bed runner. After doing some research, it seemed they are quite popular, so a runner it is!

This would be a nice way to change the 'holiday' in your bedroom with a runner, maybe pillow shams to match... room done in blue? Do Christmas in blue snowflakes to add to the bedrm. We do this for table runners, never gave bed runners much thought before.
Anyone?
Anyone?
