I haven't made one yet but had thought about it. Here in FL it is just too warm to always have a spread on the bed and the bed runner would make the bed look nice when the spread is too heavy. Must give one a try after the holidays

Mine too. My feet are always cold for the longest time after I go to bed, even with wool socks. So I'm making myself a Christmas present of a bed runner. Real heavy and with extra down from a sleeping bag found at a thrift store. I want my feet WARM, now that I sleep alone. It will match the blue crazy quilting of the bed quilt itself, and the pillow cases.

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?

I am making one for my daughter room in our new house. My profile pic is the pattern. I made the curtains from the dark brown and used the grommets to hang them from a thinner rod. Good luck Wish I had more time now that I have to work full time it doesnt leave much time for quilting.
