Besides being a blanket to keep you warm, comfortable and cuddly during those bitterly cold winter months when nothing but a warm quilt and a hot cup of coffee would be the most looked forward to thing in life, the quilt also qualifies as an important contributing element in bedroom décor. The reason for this is that quilts come in a range of bright stimulating colors that can greatly brighten and thereby liven up the ambience of your bedroom. For instance, there are bright red quilts with floral of blue and yellow or there are multi-colored square patched designs that give the appearance of an appliqué blanket and there are also baby and children quilts with cartoon animals in bright backgrounds.

Cleaning an Antique Quilt.
If you have just acquired an antique quilt, there are some things to watch for before you think about how to clean it. You need to look carefully at the quilt's age and condition. You also need to think carefully about whether you should wash a quilt. It is a good idea to seek the advice of a professional textile conservationist first. You can find one by contacting The American Institute for Conservation, 1717 K St. NW, Suite 200, Washington DC 20006. It is true that no matter how careful you are, you may permanently damage a quilt by washing it. You should certainly never wash a damaged quilt before repairing it.
