Quilts As Nursery Wall Art

Few things are so beautiful as a well done quilt, they can be bright and colorful or elegant, or even earthy and old fashined. A quilt seems to warm the whole room it is in and while you certainly can't put a quilt in your babies crib as this is dangerous, a quilt could look beautiful hanging as wall decor. Quilts have a huge range of art styles on them from cute art, to more rustic looks, or you can get a tropical feel with a Hawaiian quilt.
Further because a quilt can take up a large portion of the wall it is easy to design a theme around one, or to use one to set up your theme. Then as your baby grows older you can simply remove the quilt from the nursery and add some wall art of their choice or switch it out for a new quilt and you have a new kids room design with a minimul amount of fuss.
Finding the perfect quilt is difficult, just as anything with decoration it requires some thought on your part. The nice part about quilts is that you don't have to have a theme in mind for the nursery when you start looking, you can choose instead to look for a quilt you really like and then design the room around that. This is one of the best ways to be inspired, to rather then debat potential themes, look for something large that you really like and then designing around that.
There are a number of places to look for quilts, country fairs are a good place to find a quilt or local quilters, of course these quilts can get fairly expensive and may run more then you wish to spend on your nursery decorations. Also country fairs are not always close at hand or in season so you may not have an oppertunity to browse one befor your baby is born. This is where the interenet shines, for with a simple list of sites you will be able to find the perfect quilt for the baby nursery.
Before I give you the list let me just mention that Hawaiian Quilts though not always so well known are beautifully designed and very unique so you may want to spend some time looking at them before you settle on a quilt, should you choose to go this direction.
