This Centuries-Old Bedding Trend Feels Farmhouse Yet Modern — Now I'm Convinced That Every Bed Needs One

A bedroom with a view and a colorful quilt.

If your bedding needs a bit of a makeover, I'm currently coveting embroidered quilts. They've been around for a while, but what's changed is that we're seeing this style of blanket in more modern settings with a more contemporary twist, and I for one love the look. Quilting is the name given to the process of affixing layers of fabric together through stitching. 

While it has its roots in the traditional, farmhouse aesthetic, there are a lot of modern-day quiltmakers who are bringing it to the 21st century with bold designs, blocks of color, and asymmetric shapes. Our favorite brands are bringing them to the everyday home, but still with that artisan patchwork finish that makes them look as though they've been handed down through families for generations.
