a v cool carpet runner

wow, I have nothing to do at work today -- well, of course I do have some things that I could be doing, but it is one of those lazy, hazy days of summer, and I have been busting my behind for a while. So anyways, I have been cruising the Internet all morning. I was looking at t-shirt quilt designs because I want to make my daughter one for her 21st birthday. To make a long story short, one site led to another to another, and I stumbled across this carpet runner. (see http://flickr.com/photos/raedeke/103012743/in/set-72057594080508256/ for more information ) How do people think of these things? She made it using only duct tape. So now I have to find some carpet pieces so I can make one of these!
