Editor's Notes
July 27, 2020:
Patchwork quilts come in a variety of colors and designs. From subtle hues to dramatic patterns, they make any room stand out. Some covers have a reversible design, so you can flip the cover over to give the room a different feel. To illustrate, the Newlake Jacquard Style set has a print on one side and a solid color on the other. Other quilts like the Greenland Home Colorado Lodge have a distinct pattern on each side.
Most quilts are easy to care for and can be machine washed and tumbled dried on a low setting. Be sure to read the care instructions, as they may vary from one brand to the next. The Tache Home Fashion Japanese Garden instructs users to wash the quilt in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on a low setting, and remove promptly. But buyers say that it still fades. However, some customers like the vintage look the fading leaves after washing. If you want to make sure the quilt doesn't fade, opt for brands that are prewashed and preshrunk like the Cozy Line Home Fashions.
Think about which material will provide you with the most comfort. Cotton quilts allow the skin to breathe, providing a comfortable night's sleep year round. Polyester is a synthetic material. It tends to trap heat and may cause sweating. It also tends to pill. However, polyester maintains it shape better and longer than cotton fabric.
The stitching pattern is another factor to consider. Quilts with tight, boxed or vermecilli stitching helps keep the batting in place when in its in a washing machine or dryer.
