You can make coordinating pillow shams if you want but my DH uses several pillows to sleep so I just prop them on the other pillows. The bedspread actually looks like a dust ruffle. This size quilt is easier and quiltcker to make that regular king size one. The neutral colors of the walls allow me to change the color of the bed room a whim. Right now it is wine colored patchwork and last month it was multi-colored flowers blocks.

As for an easy pattern- What style do you like- floral, abstract, scrappy , modern, traditional? There are tutes for 5 and 10 min blocks quilt that make up fast and easy. Also Cindy Cashauto has a book called "big Block Explosion" that has many quick and easy quilts in it especially showing floral fabric. (I love this book and have made many of the quilts in it)

show us what you decide!!!!!!!!
