Strawberry bed runner ideas

The Strawberry blocks have reached the layout stage. 


My plan with these fun blocks has been to make a bed runner.  One possible layout idea is to use 4 big blocks and 2 small blocks, with some sashing in between.  The big blocks will finish at 14 x 18. Without sashing this is about 70" wide which would work OK, but might not drape as far off the bed as I want.  So maybe it will require more blocks, or possibly just make the sashing a bit wider.  

I also have 2 blocks (1 large and 1 small) made to take for our guild bus trip next week.  Depending on how much time I have, I might make another large one for the bus trip.

Those strawberry blocks are really cute. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on for the final setting.

If you added another small strawberry to make it a three some in the middle would that make the runner long enough?

LOL -- "strawberry bed" immediately conjured an image of an actual bed of strawberries...picking season is almost here. But your version has no weeds and no backaches from bending over.

What a fun bed runner!

You could just make borders for the two ends to extend the runner. (When you titled this "strawberry bed" I thought of strawberries in orderly rows at a farm.)
