Default Finished my Bed Runner

Just finished this bed runner for my friend Julia whose feet are always cold at night. I had seen this stitch on a quilt at my LQS and just had to try it on this bed runner. I like it on the lighter colors, but it

gets lost on the browns.[ATTACH=CONFIG]296099[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]296100[/ATTACH]

It's very pretty. Is the stitch difficult to work? What size are most bed runners? I am still learning about different quilting projects, and techniques. Are the bed runners used only at the bottom top of the regular quilts or spreads for extra warmth for the feet and/or to look extra pretty at the end of the bed when made? Sorry for all the questions, but I like what you have did.

The stitch was pretty easy to do. I just kept the center at the seam line like stitch in the ditch. This bed runner is 68" long as I wanted it to cover then end of the bed without too much overhang. And I think they fit the bill for all of the above.
