Ming Dynasty Bed Runner
Featuring the Summer Palace fabric collection by Leesa Chandler, this bed runner is the perfect solution for ‘too many quilts’. They roll up nice and neat to sit in the cupboard or under the bed when not in use, and you can make lots of cushion covers to match them, which you can mix and match, chop and change using the same cushion inserts, cutting down on space while giving your room a fresh look every week! Have fun whipping up this easy to piece bed runner, and think about the fun you will have making the next one for your collection!
