Using up stash, making some bed-runners
 

Here are two bedrunners I've made recently.
One, I call "Coconut Cream Pie." My husband called it the Tan Rainbow. I had a drawer full of just white, ivory, and tan fabrics left over from bigger projects. So I auditioned the fabrics until I had a nice blend of seven fabrics ranging from light to dark. In the photo, I have placed it on an orange lap quilt just for contrast - otherwise it would have been harder to see against the beige carpet. Contemporary looking.

The second, I call "Brooke's Star" I picked out two complimentary blocks from two different sources and made this runner. I've had the blue floral sashing fabric (a little less than 1/2 yard)for a few years, so finally put all of it to good use. The light blue fabric was a FQ, and I used up all of that too. I like how it looks classic, yet fresh.

I especially love the blue runner!!! So very ice. My stash is getting huge, so I need to start using up.

Wow! You did a great job using up your stash.....very nice!

They're lovely
What's a bedrunner?

These are just lovely! Superb use of 'stash'.

Very nice...I really like the blue runner!

You just lay them across the foot of a bed or even over the pillows for decoration against a simple bedspread. Or these can be used as table runners too.

Both items are very nice. Love the blue runner and find the tan runner delightful.

Very nice. I love the fabrics you used in the blue runner.

They are so pretty! The blue is my favorite.

Very pretty!

great job, it's fun "shopping" in the stash

Both are beautiful. The tan runner is quite unique.

I like the top one. How did you do it? Please PM me with the instructions.

Very nice! Love the tan one.

They're both beautiful, but find the tan one intriguing. Not sure I'd make one, but would enjoy hearing how you plan it out.

Love your bed runners. You do great work. They are all so pretty.

Very Very Nice!!!!

Both are very pretty, but I love the blue tablerunner!

They are both awesome. I love that top pattern!

Very lovely!

Very very nice thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day and a Happy New Year

What a neat idea. I like both of your runners.

They are beautiful.

Both are very nice. The top runner looks quite complicated.

Thank you for asking. I didn't know what they were either but they are beautiful.

Very nice.

You know, that might be a good way to use the orphan swap blocks I've accumulated. Great stars. Love the colors. Good job, my quilting friend.

I love making bed runners as they are a great way to quick change a room. I make the winter ones with thick batting and the summer ones with thin batting.

Both are lovely!!

Very nice. I am doing the same thing plus making some quilts. Plan to sell some.

Beautiful! The Coconut Cream Pie is a unique design. I love the blue also. You could use these for table runners if you have a long table.

They are both very pretty though the tan one is my favorite. Very interesting pattern.

Love the coconut cream bedrunner...taking quilting to the young/ Love it!

What pattern is coconut cream?

interesting and pretty...that blue just sparkles!

Beautiful. I love the coconut cream one. But, I'm torn. I love Stars. Great way to use some stash.!

Lovey. I like the blue stars the best, but then the brown one is modern and different. Different strokes for diffrent folks. Keep up the good work.
