This bedroom looks so cozy! I’d love to have (or make!) a patchwork quilt one day. They can brighten up an entire room and give an instant sense of history.

You do realize that “instant sense of history” is about as inauthentic as it gets, and defeats the purpose, right?
My grandmother still makes the “real” thing – hand quilted – quilts for all of our family members’ weddings, anniversaries, new babies…
This is more my speed :

I agree with you, quilts do brighten up a room! There’s just something so homey and comforting about them! Maybe it’s because they used to be hand made by grandmothers and aunts… :)
I just had a quilt made for my college-age daughter from all her favorite high school tshirts. It’s a great way to save those memories! see: http://racingyogagirl.blogspot.com/2010/11/tshirt-quilt.html
new bedroom plan. thanks for this! just what i was wanting.
How nice. I also love the guitar displaying so effortlessly up there.
I love the way this bright quilt looks with the stark white walls of this room. Lovely!
i love quilts! There’s something very personal about them! Hand selecting every patch of fabric/patter….. so special!
I think I’m going to have to pull mine out of the closet! I got mine from my best friends mom as a graduation present, I love it oh so much!
I would have never thought a quilt could look so cool! Love the room set up.
We recently switched to a quilt (my grandmother’s) for our bedroom. We absolutely love it because of the warm feeling it gives. Love this pic!
I have a quilt from my stepdad’s mother and it is the most comfortable blanket around! She sewed my name and the year into the quilt and I know I will treasure for years to come so it’s sweet to know how long I’ve had it for.
lovely quilt! I also love patchwork in fashion: a patchwork bag or gloves are on my wishlist this fall.
I love log cabin quilts! so easy to make and they always looked perfect. I’ve made 2 toned ones for all the daughters and granddaughters in my family, and used the scraps to make a lovely patchwork for my grandma!
I made one for a customer last year and I’ve wanted one since! Love log cabin quilts, especially when they’re all scrappy like in the picture!
