quilts

Vermont - July 2010 036

Quilts are amazing. They are works of art requiring very precise and creative minds.

While I was in Vermont this past weekend I went to a beautiful exhibit displaying quilts in honour of Alzheimer's patients. While this one didn't have as much meaning as some of the others, I am showing this one because I just loved it. The colours, the shape of the petals, the composition. Gorgeous!

If you haven't considered a quilt for your bedroom, why not? They are not just for country settings but can be gorgeous additions to any bed including traditional or even modern spaces. And it doesn't have to be hand-made and super expensive. Even a simple machine stitched one can add texture and beauty to the end of your bed.

And while out there looking, have a peak at some of the antique ones - they are charming!
