Quick colourful quilts for beautiful beds - Rosemary Wilkinson

Traditionally quilts were made as a warm covering for beds: often thrift dictated that they were made from recycled fabrics sandwiched with a worn blanket but they were always made attractive with loving stitchwork. This new collection carries on the tradition using many favourite classic patterns but brings them up-to-date with fantastic fabrics and short-cut methods. The end result is the same: beautiful bed coverings providing both warmth and a wonderful display of the stitcher's skills. Here are small floral fabrics for country cottages alongside bold plain colours to enhance contemporary room colour schemes: quilts to showcase fabulous fabrics or patterns to blend in with a low-key room decor. The quilt patterns cover a range of sizes for twin, queen and king size beds. These lovely designs are quick to make but will provide warmth and comfort for many years.
