That's a great idea! I have never used a homemade quilt on my kingsized bed because I have a large dog who shares it with us and I don't want his claws to put holes in a handmade quilt. It never occurred to me to just make one to put over a neutral store-bought bedspread so I could remove it easily at night for my dog, but still enjoy having it on display during the day when the bed is made up. Brilliant!

What a great idea!!!!!!!! I've been procrastinating making a new dust ruffle and curtains just for a change.
What a "DUH" moment you've all given me. Just goes to prove that all great minds don't always think alike.........

I just washed my matelassé spread, an off white I've had for awhile. I wanted to change out my bed since we repainted the bedroom. It looks grey but is called almond mist or something. Am anxious to get the sewing room finished so I can decide on the quilt I want for our bed. Also have my eye on couple chenille spreads at Bed Bath & Beyond. My cousin uses bed runners on her pillows across the top of the bed instead of shams also

I have a coverlet, but it has some sort of poly in it or poly batting and it is too warm cause it doesn't breath so I'm doing a simple Irish chain in a king size, but it will not go with my bedroom. Guess I still need a neutral something.

I have a white whole cloth quilt that my mother had made about 50-55 years ago. It still looks brand new and is a king size bedspread. I love it and am able to change the colors out with a new quilt on the end of the bed. It doesn't even have to be a full size quilt, just wide enough to put at the end of the bed and they have just enough color to change the room.
