Quilts are a decorating palette of color, texture, and comfort. They add so much to your home decor. Not only do people notice the wonderful patterns, but they have a very "inviting" feeling. You almost want to curl up with a good book, and place that cover across your legs, and be whisked away to far away places and great adventures.

Quilts are not only to be used on beds, or chairs. They have come into their own as coverings for tables, trunks, and other areas that need a touch of "special." You can use the many colors in a quilt to highlight a room, bring out other features, or to contrast and give a great visual effect.

When you purchase a quilt, they can be hand-made, or machine-made. They are pieced together or squares of different patterns, or textures are sewed together for a certain effect. Whatever quilts you choose, they can be utilitarian besides beautiful. they are pefect for a light cover for a short nap, to enjoy by a roaring fire, or to cover a sleeping baby on your lap. Quilts are really just the touch for so many opportunities to provide comfort and decoration.

There is a ...
... vast price range when you purchase a quilt. Some of these masterpieces take months or even years to put together, while otehrs are gifts from relatives or friends that decided to make you something that would bring you a lot of enjoyment. Whether they are picture-perfect, a memento of generations past, or an attempt by a love one to create something unique and different as a gift or token of appreciation and affection, by all means use them in your decorating scheme. People will notice them and they add a feeling of "come sit a while and let's relax" to your home.

You might notice that people choose the chair or table near the quilt and finger the thread and texture lovingly. Its friendship and hospitality all brought together with needle and thread, a lot of creativity and imagination, and no matter where you purchase your quilt, they are made by someone who loves what they do and wants to share a "welcome" to whoever purchases their work.

So invest in quilts and add that very special decorating item to your home - you'll be amazed at the many uses you will find for it and the many times you find yourself using its wonderful "hugging" effect.
ENJOY!
