I want to find a pattern for a quilted toe warmer. It is a small quilt 30" wide and the length of the width of the bed. I live in the S and don't need a quilt all summer-even with air. This just goes at the foot of the bed to add a decorative touch and keep your toes warm! I know I can adapt a quilt, but would like a pattern for one. I googled it and didn't find any. Can anyone help me?

I will see if I can find you some free patterns

1. bed runners

2. bed boots free pattern

Thanks.

If memory serves me right it was Kayewood who "started" the rage about the little strip quilt that was placed at the bottom of the bed covers. If you have a favourite block just make enough to cover the space you want it....and go for it.

Would a bed runner pattern work??

Am I the only one who pictured a little mitten to go over my toe? I do think those runners are pretty though.

lol...I was thinking more along the lines of quilted booties

I would love to have a pair of quilted booties. Wonder how to make them...

I was thinking of a lap type quilt with a pocket for the footies on the back of it.

Sort of a qwillow type thing.

I think one could take a table runner pattern and just make it longer.

Good idea. There are some beautiful table runner patterns that would be great!

Kaye calls them 'Quarter Quilts'

I think these are also called bed runners. I found several -- including this free one:

Lol....I was picturing that too!!!

My first thought when I saw the posting was all the fur babies mentioned on here. My pom likes to lay at my feet when I'm sewing, although he doesn't help press the pedal (thank goodness!). Of course, if I'm not at the machine and he's at my feet, he lays all over them...nice, furry feet warmer. lol

Check these out, lol... you might be able to use these and get a giggle too!

Haha, I was picturing a little mitten to go over my big toe for when I was sewing at the machine on a cold floor!

I recently purchased the book, Bed Runners: Using Precut Fabrics, published by House of White Birches. It has ten different patterns, using jelly rolls, layer cakes, fat quarters, etc, and they are beautiful. I don't remember where I bought it...somewhere online. It may be of interest to you!

This is what I was thinking as well....then put some sashings and a couple of borders around it.....
Make sure you post a pic when you decide and make it - we LOVE pics!

LOL! A little mitten over the toe. I'm still chuckling

When I first saw them online, I thought they were made for one's beloved pet sleeping at the foot of the bed. What was I thinking???

I,too pictured little mittens for toes and thought why not just wear socks. She means a bed runner.

I admit to nothing. lol

Yep, I resemble that remark LOL. I must admit, I too thought of a furbaby when I saw this.

Yes, I do make my bed every morning and this will be so much easier than rescuing my king quilt from the floor!

Thanks to all who have given me wonderful ideas. This board never fails to amaze me!

I have sevearal bed scarves patterns. I have 2 posted on the web site. I can design a simple free pattern if you tell me what kind you want. Regular pieceing applique, paper piecing. Let me know. they are bed scarves or bed runners. Have fun!

Here is one on my site.

SadieMae, I thought the same thing.

I live down South as well, but have 2 adopted Greyhounds that think my bed is their's, (but only in the daytime - they have their own beds for night time) so I cover my bedspread with a quilt during the daytime, and roll it down at night. Their paws and nails always seem to make pulls in my bedspread - but the brdwarmers do look beautiful

What is your site?

try bedrunners ???????

There is a book and it is all bed runners... I do not have it right here but there are a lot of patterns out there but why not do your own thing?

I have quilted 1 bed runner, but for myself, I use a crib size quilt folded down the middle. I like making smaller quilts to try out a new pattern and they work just fine. They also work good over the back of the sofa if your sweetie tends to sit on it while less then spottless.

You have a nice site and beautiful work. I tried to find your guest book but could not find it on your site.
