It’s not overly hard to imagine yourself beneath the voluptuous puffs of this quilt, in a rainbow of autumn-coloured stripes of varying widths. The very sight of its brilliant hues makes you feel all warm inside and ache to get under it. And as it can add zing to almost any colour scheme and room, there’s no need to confine it to your bedroom. Bring it out and drape it over seating or arrange it, along with other objects of desire, on a sideboard. Or, for a relaxed vibe, hang it over the door of an armoire.

To make this quilt, full instructions are available from the July issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. On sale now!
