3 Kids' Quilts We'd Use in Our Grown-Up Home

These quilts are high on color, boldness, style but, alas, they're made for kids. Nothing says you can't use them, though, in a child's room as they're intended, on the sofa as a throw, or as an extra little cover on your own bed...

First, there's Napoleon Quilts. These are pricey handmade baby quilts, so they're too small for your adult bed but they're so beautiful that we want one of the little 45"x60" designs anyway - maybe as a throw blanket.

Then there's the Ruffle Quilt from PB Teen. It's a gathered, striated quilt in two colorways, one cool and one warm. Oops, actually looks like the warm (pink) colorway is the only one still available on this sale item, priced right now at $85.

Lastly, this is the Brushed Twill Quilt, which is on sale for $65 right now also at PB Teen. It's made for boys' rooms but we're liking the slightly more muted palette and geometric design.

What's in the first pic?
Is someone making quilts out of Amy Butler fabrics?

I recently commissioned a shop owner on Etsy.com (the alchemy feature) to create a quilt out of the fabrics I chose. It's not done yet, but from the updates I've gotten, it's going to be stunning! She's using all Amy Butler fabrics.

Pottery Barn kids has some really cute bedding that I've considered buying. Maybe I'll go for it next time.
