I made a runner out of yo-yo's. Love that I only need to change the bottom quilt to get a new look and when I am tired of it - pillows! It gets folded in half and laid across the bottom.

Scroll down to 'Points of Interest' for the bedrunner.

There is also the Bali Wedding Star available as a bed runner, and the use of bed runners is an "in" thing to see in hotels. Coordinating drapes sounds like a good idea.

whoa. You are sounding really really organized. Must be something in the air. lol.

I think the bed runners are just a little bit trendy, but I love them. Like you said, you can update your decor with just a little change, and they really are fun to make

Absolutely stunning. I'm jealous. I started one once but it just didn't go fast enough for me. You have great patience :thumbup:
