What is a Quilt?
A quilt is a simple blanket that consists of three layers. The top layer of fabric is usually the same as the bottom layer, with a center layer that is made of batting, a soft, fluffy material. The layers are stitched together to create the hallmark look of a quilt.
- A solid color quilt focuses more on the texture of the material and the pattern and proportion of the stitching than any other kind of design.
- While many quilts may focus on patchwork or appliqué techniques, you can instead seek out interesting stitching, like squares or diamonds, waves, blocks, stars and more.
- Quilts can be used any month of the year, depending on how you layer your bedding. Replace thick comforters in summer or top them for extra warmth in winter.
Quilt Designs For Every Home
Since quilts are so popular, you can have a lot of fun shopping for the ones that suit the rest of your linen collection or your interior design. Consider a few different approaches to selecting your solid color quilt.
- If you are already a quilt aficionado, you may want to choose a series of solid-colored quilts that tie together the various colors of your patchwork style quilts.
- To modernize a bedroom, especially one that is decorated in a modern bohemian, farmhouse or beach cottage style, choosing a solid colored quilt can be a great way to bridge classic bedding and an updated aesthetic.
- Look for other bedding elements that match your quilt, like a quilted pillow sham or a sheet set in the same color as your quilt.
