Simple Yet Beautiful Quilts

I love seeing how people use quilts in their home.  I recently found this new to me web site http://www.houzz.com/    There is a search box on the site, and when I put in the word quilt these are just a few of the photos that I found.  There is an "Embed On Blog" button next to each photo, with the name of the designer listed below each photo.  

What struck me about these quilts is how easy they would be to make.  This first quilt looks like it was made from a layer cake (or two) and the shams were made from charm squares.  I think the quilting is what makes this quilt interesting.  It looks like straight line quilting that alternates direction with every block.

Again these look like layer cake squares but ten inch squares could just as easily be cut from fabric on hand.  This quilting looks like straight line all the same direction.

Here are more layer cake and charm squares.

This quilt looks like a mix of plaid and floral squares, and the quilting is a diagonal grid.

Love this rail fence.  The neutral colors and wide strips give it a modern look.

Time to stop dreaming and head to the sewing machine.
