In need of a bedspread that's warm in the winter and cool in the summer? Quilted bedspreads are one of the few bedspreads that truly are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Many people have had some patchwork or quilted bedspreads at some point in their lives. Though they seem like a hodgepodge of fabrics and colors, quilts are an excellent way to use the leftover fabric Mom has stored in the basement.
Surprisingly, quilted bedspreads are still quite popular.
Quilting is for old maids and grandmothers, right? Wrong. Quilting, like knitting and weaving, is a past-time that anyone can enjoy. Even kids can pick out the fabrics for quilted bedspreads and choose the pattern in which to lay them. People who like to sew might find tons of fabric lying around that can easily be incorporated into a quilted bedspread. For instance, that ratty old blanket the baby of the family refuses to stop carrying around? One way to get her to drop it could be to incorporate it into a nice new kids quilt. Same old blanket, new way to look at it (and probably too big to carry around everywhere).
However, for people who can't quite get the needle and cloth thing together, quilted bedspreads are sold in most department stores.. For instance, the Hannah Patchwork Quilts are very inexpensive, and quite pretty. Though some reflect more of a feminine style, with shades of pinks and soft blues, some are more neutral like the Eastern Red Reversible Quilt. This quilt uses browns, yellows, blues, and reds to create a quilted bedspread that's great for any person's bed. Both of these quilted bedspreads are in the $60-$70 range, so they're easily affordable. Kids quilts are also available, so whether the quilted bedspreads are for a little girl in love with bunnies, a little boy in love with trains or someone in love with underwater animals, inexpensive themed quilts are easy to find, typically only $20 to $50.
King size quilts are a great option for those with bigger beds. When buying quilted bedspreads for a king size bed, several things should be taken into consideration: the drop length (basically how much the quilt should cover), the style of the bed (the quilt needs to drop on all the sides), and whether or not the pillows will be covered. For people who like to have king size quilts tucked over the pillows, about an extra foot or foot and a half of fabric is needed.
Patchwork is also used fairly often in quilts, even today. Patchwork quilts are beautiful partially because of the fabrics used, and partially because the idea behind the patchwork is that there is a larger scheme within the pattern. Although the quilt looks like a random assortment of fabrics, in actuality, there's a bigger picture like an American flag, some sort of zoo scene, or a star.
Even now, quilted bedspreads are not quite so unfashionable as one might think. Quilts can be a beautiful focal point for a bedroom. Though not everyone is comfortable with quilting, quilted bedspreads are sold just about everywhere, making it easy to purchase one that fits any style. Whether the quilted bedspreads are king size quilts for a couple's bedroom or kids quilts for the kids room, all kinds of colors and patterns are available.
