We do this for table runners, never gave bed runners much thought before.
Anyone?
Yes, I have seen them. I have seen them called foot warmers or something like that, to be used at the bottom of the bed to keep your feet warm. Wouldn't work so well on my bed. My dogs think my bed is really theirs; and is just to much work to try to discourage a Great Dane and a Rottweiler mix from getting on the bed. During the day they lay there and guard the neighborhood. The Great Dane would use the bed runner as her own private quilt and ruin it. They do look like a neat idea for changing your decorating scheme. I have so many quilt ideas already that I don't think I need to be making bed runners.
This was an idea from someone who has big dogs, would work with any dogs or cats/pets. Sew them their OWN quilt, make it sized what you feel works for your pet. Use Denim, so it's 'nails' tough, and embroidery or special fabric could make it "pet" fun.
Someone made these for bird covers to their cages at night. One for a cover to the cat's tower, they like places to hide. One for a pillowed bed for the dog, then made a blankie for the dog who drags it with him when moving to another room. Also pet treats bags, or supply bag for brush, shampoo, toys. Fun ideas for pets.
