I love this pattern too. I have made so many of these in the past, it's no longer funny. The last one I did was for my gf gresser. She wanted it extra long.
It was like 6ft long when I was done and wider also. I hated the fabric I found. I got it at a LQS and it shredded so bad...horrible. I was so disappointed that I put it away...where it sat until I finally finished 3 YEARS LATER! I was so happy to get it out of the house! Here is a pic of the beast. It's not very bood, but it's all I could find.
Here is a closeup of that horrid fabric!

Here's the "dresser runner"! Took 3 years, but I finally got it done!
