Rows of mustard wheat ears run across this cotton quilt, broken up by wide gray and gold bands that carry a white geometric motif and fine lines of aqua. A broad mustard border frames every edge. Turn it over and the reverse is a soft aqua blue, so the same quilt can make the bed warm and golden one week and fresh and calm the next.
Five layers of cotton gauze keep it light enough to sleep under on its own on a warm night, and on a colder one it sits easily over the duvet. Pull it onto the sofa and it works just as well as a throw.
Wheat ears and wide bands, framed in mustard
The pattern is built from long stripes. Narrow rows of chevrons, the wheat ears, alternate in mustard and white with thin aqua lines between them. Wider bands of gray or gold carry a white motif edged with small aqua arrows. Spread over a bed, the stripes run its full width and give the room one strong line of color.
The mustard border picks up the gold in the stripes and squares the whole design off, so it looks finished from the foot of the bed and along both sides. Next to white sheets, pale wood and plain walls, those warm golds and soft grays bring color without crowding the room.
An aqua side for a lighter look
Flip it and the mood changes. The reverse is a soft aqua blue with the motifs picked out in white, and the mustard border runs between the two faces, so a strip folded back at the pillows shows all three colors at once.
Put the gold side up when the room wants warmth and the aqua side up when it wants something calmer. Either way, the border frames the face you choose.
Five layers of soft cotton gauze
The quilt is 100% cotton, made from five layers of gauze with a soft, gently crinkled surface that shows in every fold. It drapes loosely over the edge of the mattress rather than standing stiff, and it wraps easily around your shoulders when you take it to the sofa.
The exact size is in the specifications, so you can check it against your bed first. It goes in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle, which makes it an easy quilt to live with every day.
