Decorate with Quilts for the Holidays and Beyond
There’s Something Magical About Quilts Tucked Around the House!
Quilters not only enjoy the satisfaction of creating wonderful quilts, they also tend to accumulate them. It’s fun to go through your quilts at holiday time and pull out a few to show off as part of your seasonal decor.
In fact, quilts are one of the fastest ways to transform your home for the holidays. Not only are they beautiful, they quickly warm a home with holiday cheer.
Just about any quilt with red or other festive colors can be displayed around the home for the holidays. Hang them on walls, display them on a quilt ladder, roll them up in baskets, and more. You’re limited only by your space and imagination.
