Americana Quilts

Americana quilts are an excellent accessory for patriotic country style decorating.

Combined with some art prints for the wall above your bed, lamps on your bed tables, and some throw pillows, you can establish the focal point for your bedroom.

There are a variety of patterns in which to choose. You could select a quilt with the American Flag, itself, or a scene including the flag.

Whatever your preference may be, you'll be able to find the exact quilt that expresses the look you want. Keep in mind that Americana decorating doesn't necessarily mean using the American Flag exclusively. You can depict the patriotic theme through other elements, as well.

For instance, you could simply choose a quilt with patchwork stars. The patchwork pattern always makes me think of Betsy Ross stitching together our Flag.

Quilts are a beautiful addition to any room in your home. Their "homemade" look ideally expresses the country decor theme of simplicity.
