Vintage Scarf Bedspread from Ouno Design

We found a perfect match for these scarf pillows -- this patchwork scarf bedspread from Ouno Design.

Like the pillow, we really like this idea because it shows off the cool and beautiful designs of a scarf that you're often unable to completely display when wearing it around your neck.

We also like that this bedspread is reversible with a neutral colored backing. You may not always want the full effect of such brightly colored bedding. By covering your bed with the neutral side and folding the top down, you get a little pop of color, rather than the whole she-bang.

At $550, Ouno's bedspread is definitely a splurge item, but crafty folks can make their own patchwork bedcover cheaply using scarves bought at thrift stores. In the latest issue of Craft Magazine, Ouno Design's Lindsay Brown and Sarah Gee give step-by-step instructions on how you how to make one. How nice of them!

A little too crazy for me - looks like something from Urban Outfitters. I like the idea but I think it would look better with a more unified color theme.

I love it! I would love to see it in a warm cozy and funky little room.

Cool idea....easy to make, too. This seems like a take on the "handkerchief quilts" of yore.

Vintage dishtowels would work well, too.
