The earliest quilts date back to the 18th century. They have been around for hundreds of years and they are as popular today as they were back then. There are thousands of styles and designs available and you can actually find free quilt patterns on line. If you are really creative, you can design you own. Quilts are very versatile and can be used to create a warm cozy feeling in your bedroom or you can hang them on your walls to celebrate holidays or special occasions. They are so colorful they will definitely brighten up any room. Because of their design and quilt fabrics, they will keep you warm while sleeping.
Keeping your bedding clean is always a concern but unless your quilts are really dirty, the best thing to do is just vacuum them off using a soft lint brush. If you feel they really need washing, do it by hand in your washing machine using lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Let them soak for about 10 minutes and then gently agitate using your hands only. It is alright to spin the water out as spinning will not damage the quilt fabrics. Fill up the washer again and soak to remove the soap. To dry, simply lay them out on plastic covered by a sheet. With this special treatment, your quilt patterns will look great for years.
Some websites offer over 2000 quilt fabrics to choose from. You can definitely let your imagination run wild. The different styles include appliqué, baby themes, blocks, animals, novelty, country, plaids to name only a very few. One of the leading brands is Benartex textiles.

Along with free quilt patterns, a number of websites offer detailed instructions and pictures that make it look oh so easy. When you do decide to make some quilts, the toughest part will be deciding on the theme.
