Quilts

When temperatures start to fall, there’s nothing more comforting than wrapping yourself up in a cozy

quilt. And even when it isn’t cool outside, seeing a quilt folded at the end of your bed or hanging on a

quilt rack supplies a treasured comfort, adding visual warmth to a room.

Quilts not only offer a luxurious comfort for sleeping, but have a eternal appeal and charm that lend a

vintage feeling to your home. A homemade quilt, in particular, evokes a feeling of security and tradition,

a passing of the torch.

Quilts are classic pieces of art that last for years. Unlike a

or comforter, a quilt will never

go out of style. Frequently handed down from generation to generation, quilts are considered

heirlooms.

It’s quite simple to dress quilts up or down. Patchwork quilts grant a cosy feel to any room, while solid,

embroidered quilts in combination with beaded accent pillows lend a more elegant look. You can find a

quilt to fit almost any decor.

Quilts should not be confused with blankets or duvets. But blankets are woven, and a duvet is a

lightweight comforter that has a slip cover. Quilts consist of fabric backing below, a layer of soft batting

inside, and a top layer. These three layers are stitched or tied together, which is what quilting

constitutes. The tying technique uses yarn or ribbon at prescribed intervals to tie through the quilt's

layers. In certain areas, tied quilts are referred to as comfort quilts or lap quilts.

You have a wide range of styles and varieties of quilts to pick from. When choosing a quilt, there are a

few factors to consider.

Traditionally, quilts--particularly patchwork quilts--were sewn by hand; but today, many are sewn by

machine. Though of course hand-sewn quilts possess a magic that machine-sewn quilts can never equal,

both methods can produce a high-quality quilt. When buying either variety, make sure the stitching is

even and strong.

Some quilts are thicker than others, so you'll probably want to have two or three quilts to change with

the seasons. A heavy patchwork

quilt is comforting and extra warm for winter. Look for a

medium-warmth quilt for the spring and autumn. A lightweight summer quilt provides just enough

layering to keep you warm without causing you to sweat. Just because it is hot outside, it doesn't mean

your quilt needs to be shoved into a closet; you can hang it as a exhibit piece.

If you pick a colour scheme first, it will make finding the ideal quilt easier. Once you've narrowed down

the colour options, you can quickly browse for your dream quilt. Don’t be too rigid; the ideal quilt for

you might be completely different from what you originally had in mind.

quilt stand out. Whether you obtain shams or throw

pillows, finding the right accent piece will exhibit your quilt.

Quilts get better with age. Like your favourite pair of jeans, quilts look better and feel more comfortable

with wear. Don't be afraid to take your quilt along on picnics and then tossing it into the washing

machine afterward; it will only add character to it.
