Quilted blankets in the style of "patchwork" that have returned to fashion look very stylish. A similar thing can be made independently with a child from the scraps accumulated at home. A unique and soulful interior decoration will come out. A quilted bedspread can be double-sided - this will allow you to diversify the look of the room's decoration simply by turning it over on one side or the other.
