If you can't make a commitment to a big quilt, why not a Bed Runner?
These narrow quilts just cover the foot of the bed, and add color and extra
warmth to your bed, without all of the fuss of a big quilt. They can also be
made with pockets on the ends to hold the remote, or toys for the kids. If you
sit on the end of the bed to put on your shoes, a bed runner can protect the
quilt or bedspread that it covers, and they are easier to wash than a big
quilt. They can be custom made to fit any bed or decor, and make great
gifts.
Pillow shams can also be made from the same fabric to match the bed
runner.
The dimensions are typically 24" wide and the length is 25"-30" longer than
the width of the mattress, so that there is a 12"-15" drop on each side of the
bed.
I'm going to be making these, including Christmas ones, and putting them on my website at
