I have one bachelor son who can afford anything he wants, who buys without any female influence. He ALWAYS buys quilts for his beds (3) in simple 12" blocks in beige/tan tones in washable faux suede. No sashing, stitch in the ditch. It sounds boring, but the design element in his bedrooms is not on his bed but on the decoration on his walls. His rooms look like room illustrations in Urban Living.
