I thought the bedspread especially was beautiful! I still think so. However, after a year it has *not* held up. The stitching in the quilt is coming undone, and raveling to the point of being impossible to fix. I&#8217;m disappointed, especially because this was a guest bed, and not something that was used with any frequency. (A lot of people think that my cats tore up the quilt with their claws, but I just wanted to mention that this isn&#8217;t true. Their claws have done their fair share of damage on things around our house, but this quilt isn&#8217;t one of them.)<\/p>\n<p>I decided to get a new bedspread\/quilt for the guest bed. Since the bedskirt and curtains are still fine, I wanted to match them. I like the look of a quilt because me using the room for my sewing projects. It kinda puts me in the mood.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty happy with the new quilt. I feel like it has a fall feel, and looks as warm and inviting as the other quilt. I hope this one lasts much longer!<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/twentysixcats.com\/thisoldhouse\/2009\/11\/09\/get-ready-to-be-amazed\/\">Pictures of old quilt here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/twentysixcats\/5034449102\/\" title=\"Guest room by twentysixcats, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4089\/5034449102_9d81e47096.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" alt=\"Guest room\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we got our guest bed a year ago, I went to a local discount linen store to get curtains, bedskirt, bedspread, and pillow shams.
