RUSTIC WOOD QUILTS:

Authentic American quilt patterns crafted to your specific color scheme.
Quilts are evocative of early America, the warmth of home, and individual style. With a variety of patterns and an infinite combination of colors, together we can create a piece of your personal history. Wood quilts meld beautifully with any decor. They work equally well in styles ranging from country to modern, informal to formal, and all tastes in between. Our quilts complement any room and offer you a unique opportunity for the individual interpretation of your home.

These shapes are then glued to a board with scaled grid lines that ensure accuracy with the quilt pattern. A coordinating rough-sawn frame finishes your quilt. Slight gaps and varying thickness of the shapes contribute to the rustic appearance of your wood quilt. Let your imagination combine with our craftsmanship . . .
