Bed runners

Bed Runners or as some call them Bed Scarves

I think Bed Runner works well.

But, what is a bed runner/scarf?

Bed runners are long pieces of fabric that lay Across the top of the bed.

Most often, you'll see them in hotels.  Now, runners are becoming popular in homes.

What  the advantages/benefits of a runner? 

1. Extra warmth

2.  bedding protection

3.  Add style and color

For me  reason #4 is to use a 'table' runner because I didn't want to decorate my table! 

Besides, I had four applique blocks I wanted to use but then want to put them in a large quilt

Alas, I remembered a friend who said she was making a bed runner!  Of course, why not use those four blocks as a bed runner?

Hence, here is my first bed runner/scarf--love it!

Fits nicely on the bed.  I know it isn't longer enough to hang off the sides of the king size bed, but perfect to add more color and comfort to the bedroom.  There are 'suggested' sizes for beds--it is my runner and my bed so I can set the size!

When I pulled out the February decorations, I found this runner!  How perfect for the bed!  I have plenty of other Valentine pieces throughout the house.

Now, when I look at my quilt blocks and I have too few to make a quilt,

a Bed Runner/Scarf will be considered!
