Cheater quilts for the bottom of the bed
 

Is there a fixed size or ratio for these? I'm sure proportion comes into this.

do mean "bedrunners"? the strips of quilts that fit over the end of the bed? If so, I don't know of any special size - it would depend on the pattern you choose - long enough to show off the blocks used and wide enough to hang down over the sides of the bed as far as you choose.

Cheater quilts as in the preprinted fabric?? ..........
....... or are you meaning those bed runner thingss that make absolutely no sense to me??
(other than to be a nuisance!!)

Now ... I'll probably get flamed by those that totally love them, but honestly, I just don;t "get" them!

Yeah sorry. I meant Bed runner. To match the chair (and the Pillows and curtain header..to come)

Lovely toe warmers!

Sorry, I'm not much help with the size but just wanted to say this........every time I see or hear about bed runners, I think about my Mom. She loved having the bed runner. She said she always wanted the runner to keep her feet warm.

I love bed runners and they can be used on the back of the couch also.
My bedspread is made with batiks and don't have the storage for a lot of big quilts. So runners are great and they give you lots of practice with different blocks.
No set size just so they drape over the sides some.

The first time I saw these was in a Comfort Inn. I asked what they were for and the maid said to keep the feet and shoes off the comforter. It is easier to wash. ?? Who Knew!

Both of my kids have king size beds -- I want to get them spreads in neutral colors so I can make bed runners and smaller quilts to lay on top of the spread -- that would give me more opportunity to try all kinds of different patterns and designs without making a king size quilt.
