 | There are many wonderful items that are part of our lives and our interior spaces, but quilts are among the warmest and the most welcoming. A home filled with beautiful quilts is a wonderful place to be, and there is nothing quite as great as snuggling up into a thick quilt on the coldest night of the year. Quilts are a wonderful way to keep warm, and a wonderful way to decorate the home as well.
In fact quilts run the gamut from the merely functional to quilts that are truly works of art. While many quilts are mass produced items that sell for quite reasonable prices, others are true works of art, and the best handmade quilts often sell for thousands of dollars at auction. The Amish sect in particular is known for its beautiful quilts, and the art of ancient quilt making has been passed down from mother to daughter through many generations. Amish made quilts are always a popular gift item for those visiting the parts of the country where this reclusive sect makes its home, and beautiful quilts can be found throughout the markets and country stores that dot the landscape.
Of course one does not have to travel across the country to find some beautiful quilts, and there are many wonderful quilts to be found throughout the country and throughout the world. Some of these quilts are used for purely decorative purposes, with many of them designed to serve as attractive wall hangings as well as bed linens. These colorful patchwork quilts are beautiful accents for any country style home, and they make a wonderful addition to any rustic or country decorating theme.

Uses of Quilts
As the cold weather approaches, however, homeowners will certainly be glad that quilts are as practical as they are beautiful. These wonderful accents are perfect for keeping warm when the weather turns chilly, and with the price of heating oil and other fuel on the rise keeping warm with a quilt is certainly a cost-effective alternative. In fact many quilt owners find that they can easily recoup the cost of their new quilts simply by turning the heat down a few degrees and snuggling up by the fireplace.
In addition to the beauty, practicality and warmth of quilts, these wonderful accents have a number of other uses. One of the best things about quilting is that this unique craft can be passed down through the generations, from grandparents to parents to children.
Many families have created cherished traditions around the quilts in their homes, with each new member of the family invited to add a square to the family quilt. Each of the squares in a family quilt can represent a special moment in the life of the family, and this can transform a simple piece of bed linen into a cherished family heirloom. Many of those family heirloom quilts have been proudly passed down through the generation, carefully preserved and guarded by each new member of the family. As each new family member adds his or her own square to the quilt, the story continues and the beauty of the heirloom continues to grow. |
