I did line the valance with the same material. I just measured the width of the window and then tripled it. For the runner and place mats I lined them in the same fabric as the gold on the bottom of the valance and I quilted the runner and mats in a diagonal box pattern with batting in between. I used Simplicity #5530 for the runner and mats. It calls for almost 3 yards but not sure if that included the lining. Hope this helps.
