Modern Quilts for Winter
Until energy-efficient and hyper-insulated Passive House construction becomes the norm, you may need some personal insulation for the colder months. These hand-made quilts blend historic craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics; they can make for cozy blankets or decorative wall-hangings.
Inspired by sailor’s knots and the skies of the American west, this quilt is a collaboration between Oklahoman and expert quilter Meg Callahan and New York design store Hawkins. Titled Sailor's Knot Handmade Quilt, it comes in three colors (blue, gray, and red, which is seen here) and is an impressive 8ft by 8 ft.
Dwell is excited to have recently added three quilts from Minneapolis-based Louise Gray. Their designs, also 100% cotton, sport these soothing, neutral colos arrayed in simple geometric formations. Hand-stitched in the USA, you can find this Louise Gray Modern Quilt No. 5 here. Her other striking designs can be found here and here.
Last but not least, Emily Fischer and Haptic lab also offer these supremely tactile designs: titled Soft-Map City Quilts, they're a series of hand-stitched, all-white designs that outline the streets of major cities: from Boston (seen here), to Brooklyn, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
