Bed quilts

Transform scrap-basket leftovers into a bed-size quilt that sparkles. Colors that don’t match perfectly and a variety of lights, mediums, and darks give the quilt its effervescence.

Making a bed quilt is an investment of time and money. Here are some things to consider before tackling one, including some creative styling ideas.

What's better than squares? How about squares that form squares! In this quilt, a plethora of 1800s reproduction prints unite in a king-size Square-in-a-Square design.

Clever piecing creates stars amidst an Irish Chain block variation.

Use an array of light and dark florals to construct the sweet and subtle double-bed-size quilt. Set on point, color blocks stand out among the sashing strips that create stars where they intersect.

Experiment with unlikely fabric combinations and quilting styles to craft a Log Cabin stunner that gives equal play to lights and darks.
