Product Information

The wonderful world of sewing or quilting provides you with a lot of flexibility, freedom, and opportunities to be creative. You do not have a lot of hard and fast rules to follow and can create a quilt the way you want it to look. The fabric and batting of this quilt are both 100 percent cotton, so it’s super soft and cozy without being overly heavy. Most sleepers will find that it has a good weight for colder nights, but if you sleep hot, you may want to opt for a cooling comforter instead. This quilt is also large enough for proper snuggling—L.L. Bean does not skimp on fabric when it comes to their bedding. Blanket hoggers will have lots of fabric to curl up in at night without leaving their partners in the cold. The best tool to use would be a rotary cutter as you can press down on batting and get a straight cut. Just make sure the rotary cutter has a sharp enough blade in it. Sharp scissors are another option and should be able to keep your edges neat and clean. Duvets are “made of two components, the duvet cover, and the duvet insert.” The insert is typically made from down, feathers, or synthetic materials and is known for being fluffy and warm. The insert is encased in a shell, which is made from fabric like cotton. Duvets “lay atop all bedding and offer the most warmth,” making them best suited for colder climates.

This post isoriginally part of the Beginning Quilt Series(or How to Make a Quilt from Start to Finish), but options for different types of batting have changed a little since that time and I wanted to update the post. As always – feel free to weigh-in and share your thoughts in the comments. I love when you do because I haven’t tried every product or technique. Out of all the lightweight quilts we looked at, this cotton quilt from Quince stood out for its weightless quality and use of cotton voile. Cotton voile, which is a lightweight and gauzy version of cotton, brings cloudlike comfort to any bed. This type of cotton is also more breathable, allowing air to circulate throughout your bedding so you won’t overheat in the middle of the night. It has a supremely soft touch that is amazing to curl up with, particularly in the winter reading a great book. The lighter fabric is more prone to snags and tears though, so it’s not the best choice if you have pets or rowdy kids. However, every year women want to learn the hand quilting technique. Whether it is to slow down and enjoy the process or pass on an heirloom, the fact remains that hand quilting has survived the modern world.After hours of thoroughly researching options and considering factors like material, weight, and care, we found the very best quilts to accommodate a variety of sleep preferences, budgets, and design styles. For tips on how to shop for quilts, we consulted Kiva Motnyk, Founder of Thompson Street Studio. While quilts might just be a type of bedding to some, a well-crafted one can also be a work of art worth investing in. Thompson Street Studio is known for their artistic quilts, and the neutral Day Quilt is no exception—the beautiful patchwork design could be displayed in a museum, and the faded, naturally-dyed hues create a calming color palette. If you’re searching for minimalist bedding, you can display the reverse side of your quilt instead which features a geometric design.

Washes better without pilling. Shrinks slightly – especially if it’s 100% cotton. (This can be good or bad, depending on your personal preference. I personally like when the batting shrinks after the first wash because it softens the quilt and gives it a softer crinkly look for a more vintage appearance.) Generally softens over time and ages well.

This quilt is machine-washable and features a crinkled texture that disguises the appearance of wrinkles. You can choose from five natural colors that are yarn dyed, meaning that the individual fabric fibers were dyed before they were woven into fabric. This technique helps to prevent fading, ensuring your quilt looks brand new even after several washes. While the price is a bit steep, a quilt that manages to be fluffy and lightweight makes for a good splurge and is sure to keep you warm and cozy at home. This linen quilt is made in a Fair Trade facility, and each piece is filled with recycled polyester batting. The exterior features a 100 percent linen shell sourced from high-quality European flax fibers. The simple square quilting pattern is endlessly versatile, and you can expect the linen to get softer with every wash. If you have seen a quilt in a museum that has tiny stitches keep in mind that these were often crafted by young girls with nimble fingers. Quince’s cotton quilt is GOTS-certified organic, so you can rest assured knowing that it’s made from the highest quality materials. It’s also machine-washable and can be tumbled dry, so cleaning your quilt is as breezy as your new bedding. If you eat in bed or are prone to spilling things, the white fabric of this option might suffer a stain or two. You may have to spend more time spot cleaning your quilt to keep it pristine, but given its quality and affordability compared to other organic quilts, it’s worth the extra care. Soft to the touch and light as a feather, the Company Cotton Voile Quilt is the perfect complement to any bed. It’s made out of—you guessed it—cotton voile, which is an airy fabric that works perfectly as a coverlet in the summer or as a bed topper for extra warmth when it gets cold. The filling is also 100 percent cotton, which gives this quilt a weightless feel.
