Thanks for your kind words! To make the runner bigger/longer I bought 1/2 yd of the center fabric and 1 yd of the border/backing. I cut each piece WOF so there were 2 peices that measures center- 9 x40 and border 18x40. I then cut 2 5-6" pieces from one piece of the center fabric and sewed them to each end of the remaining 9x40" piece. That made the center piece 9x52 . I did not sew the seam down the center of the fabric but rather on the ends so when finished these seams are under the folded point and do not show. The border/backing I sewed end to end. I then centered the backing with the seam in center of piece, cut to size and finished as usual for runner. Also I top stitched the runner . The Halloween one has interfacing in it and the Winter one has batting in it so I had to do some quilting in the center. I personally like the interfacing better.
