modern quilts

We have this cozy blue quilt from West Elm in our guest room (in person, the color is much more interesting than it appears on the screen -- more of a smokey gray-blue), and I love it so much I was tempted to buy a second one in charcoal gray (also a better color in person) for our bedroom when our Richmond store was closing and everything was 40% off.


In the end, I restrained myself. But it got me thinking about contemporary quilts and wondering about what other lovely things might be out there. Here are a few great quilts I came across while poking around on Flickr:
