What is your Spring Bedding Preference?
Spring is upon us and and we are interested in finding out what people prefer as the weather warms up. Do you prefer to keep the heavy duty warm comforter from the cold weather, or a lighter version of a comforter? Or, do you prefer to pull the comforter from its duvet cover and just use the dovet covert set itself? Or, is a quilt set or a blanket the best way to go?
We are interested in what people have to say about please. You comments are welcome.
Now that winter is coming to an end, you will want to lighten up you bedding. A quilt is one way to accomplish this while also adding a nice contrast to your bedroom decor.
A pastel print is nice to accentuate the easter season. Or a floral pattern can often compliment the brightness of spring and the color spring flowers brings.
The Mens Wear Quilt, available in king size and queen size, is a patchwork of masculine plaids and stripes in denim and other blue color tones. The contrast in textured patterns coupled with the mixture of fine line details that brighten its appearance makes this quilt an attractive addition to any bedroom.
This popular classic quilt casual bedding is perfect for the blue tone shabby chic look. This 100% cotton quilt is prewashed for that soft feel the first time you put it on your bed. The king size is 106 by 92 inches and the queen size is 88 x 92 inches. The quilt also comes with a pair of 20 by 26 inch shams.
The Trousseau Matelasse quilt from Pem America is a very popular quilt that has neutral backgrounds with details sewing. The complex 2 layer Matelassé construction allows for a neat trick: the surface fabric is slightly crushed but the fabric as a whole is not crushed.
This quilt is offered in both ivory and sage colors, as well as king, queen and twin sizes. It is filled 100% with nautral cotton and is pre-washed giving it a natural worn look. The pattern sizes may vary slightly due to its hand-crafting.
The most common type of quilting technique is the hand appliqué. This technique is used when the quilt has special decorations. Appliqué refers to sewing one or more shapes to a larger piece of fabric, called the background.
For hand appliqué, individual shapes are cut out of fabric as needed for a design, like the floral pattern in the picture of the queen quilt on the left. The edges of the shapes are turned under and hand sewn to a background fabric.
There are a number of hand appliqué methods. With freezer paper appliqué, shapes are transferred onto freezer paper, cut out, and pressed onto fabric that become the templates used to cut and sew patches. Hawaiian appliqué quilts are made by appliqueing large, intricately cut shapes onto a background fabric. With the needleturn appliqué method the edges of shapes are turned under before they are sewn to the background.
