I sketched out my design idea after googling bedrunners for some standard dimensions (this one is 60cm x 230cm for a queen bed). I matched Yardage Design Agapanthus fabric (in purple) with two shades of plain purple fabric from Patchwork on Central Park. It's a basic block and stripe configuration, not too densely quilted.
I made my own bias binding and backed the bedrunner in the dark purple fabric.
So, once it was finished, I wrapped it up a little bit fancy ...
... and gifted it to my friend who already has an Agapanthus cushion on her bed ...
It's lovely to make things for other people for no reason, don't you think?
