I don't know what the purpose is, but it seems we all have found our own purpose. I can relate to the person who likes extra weight or warmth over the feet. I fold a lap quilt over only my feet because I like the extra weight. I can see where a bed runner would be nice there. Also over the pillows instead of a set of shams.
That is part of it. I usually use a comforter that it white. The bed runner adds a nice accent with less work than a quilt. Somehow it seems the quilts I make always wind up on someone else's bed.
