It’s time to drink in every ounce of summer and that includes beautiful summer quilts! Bright colors, tranquil patterns, and memories of picnics in the park and evenings lying in the grass – we love everything about summer quilts and the memories that they evoke. Summer quilts are some of our favorite types of quilts and as we started looking through our library, we realized that we have a lot of them that you’re going to love. So grab a cool drink and dig into our latest pattern roundup and lets hear it for summer quilts!
