I am not even sure I am asking this correctly, but I read somewhere, probably here, that if a quilt is smaller than desired for a bed, using a larger bedspread under it can make it look like it belongs. It would probably be a white bedspread, I think?
I was wanting to experiment with this idea, as I have several quilts that aren't quite large enough for a bed. But I was looking for pictures first, to see if this is an idea I wanted to pursue. I can't seem to word it correctly to google the idea successfully.
Has anyone done this, and are you happy with the results? Thanks for any info.

I purchased an all over machine quilted solid color quilt , at Marshalls for about $40.00. I bought the next size up than my actual mattress in a ivory color. It spans almost to the floor ( no need for a dust ruffle/bed skirt) and change my quilts of various sizes when ever I get in the mood. Most of the major retailers sell these such as Kohls, Overstock.com, etc.
