That's what I was thinking too. I've got sticky-back velcro on the feet of my sofa and it slides on the hardwood floor - and that's a whole sofa!!
Not only that, but quilted cotton isn't supposed to withstand wood-against-wood with the added weight of chair and human - I think she will be (rather YOU) will be replacing those runners as quick as you can say "rock-a-bye-baby".
I would opt for a rubber backed rug. Or a rubber strip along the entire bottom of the rocker.
