This Scalloped Quilt Is the Best Part of Pottery Barn’s Latest Collection (It’s Too Pretty!)

With this deceptive springlike weather I’ve been experiencing in New York, I’ve been having a challenging time figuring out my bedding situation. It’s officially too hot to sleep with a comforter, but the day I put mine away, I realized it’s still too cold to sleep with only a light blanket. It won’t surprise you to hear that my solution has been layering my bedding. 

For an effective layered bedspread, I recommend breaking out a flat sheet if you don’t normally sleep with one. On top of that, you’ll need two lightweight quilts or coverlets that’ll help insulate your body heat during the night. If you get too hot, you can just push one off.

When Pottery Barn Teen announced the launch of its new summer collection in collaboration with lifestyle brand AERIN, I was happy to find that it had some really pretty, lightweight bed coverings. The one that stood out most to me was this scallop coverlet. Although it’s on Pottery Barn’s teen brand website, that’s definitely not stopping me from considering it for my own bed.

This coverlet is made of cotton and has a polyester fill, but overall, it has a thin, breathable construction that won’t cause you to overheat at night as the temperatures increase. Although the coverlet is just white, it has an eye-catching floral motif and diamond pattern that reminds me of a box quilt. Scalloped trim also runs along the edges, adding a trendy touch to the otherwise traditional design.

The coverlet comes in two sizes, including a full/queen size that’ll fit most beds. You also have the option to add matching pillow shams to your purchase. The shams sport the same floral motif and scalloped trim, and they have envelope closures.

I love that this coverlet is white. Sure, it might make snacking in bed tricky, but you can pair it with all kinds of colors when you layer it with other bedding. Plus, it’s machine washable, so if I do make any messes, I can just throw it in the wash. Match it to a pastel bed blanket in spring, and then pair it with a bold-colored sheet set for summer. Although the coverlet’s scallop trim is very current, the entire design ultimately looks timeless, like a family quilt that’s been passed down through generations. It’s also seasonless, meaning you can enjoy its homey aesthetic all year long.

Even better, this bedding pick is perfect for all kinds of sleepers. If you run cold, you can layer it with other blankets. But if you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll enjoy sleeping under the coverlet by itself. Its lightweight materials make it perfect for movie nights on the sofa, too; no matter where you’re lounging, you’ll want to bring it with you.

With all of the beautiful spring collections out right now, it can be easy to act on impulses and buy into fads that you’ll fall out of love with after a couple of trend cycles. But the scallop coverlet is embellished just the perfect amount, and, most importantly, it’s totally practical for everyday use no matter the time of year.
