Amelia Ditsy Cotton Bedspread - Blush

The Amelia bedspread is a quilted throw-over layer with a cotton face and reverse and a polyester filling. It carries a ditsy floral print, small trailing sprigs scattered across a soft blush ground, and the whole piece is worked in a diamond quilt so the surface holds a gentle, dimpled texture rather than lying flat. A frilled trim runs around the edge in a paler cream tone, the same colour that shows on the folded-back reverse. It comes in two sizes, 150 x 200cm and 240 x 260cm, so you can choose a piece that sits on top of a single or a double through to a larger bed with a good drop over the sides.

This is a layering piece rather than a duvet, so it goes over the top of your existing bedding, at the foot of the bed folded, or across the whole bed for warmth and a softer look. The blush and cream palette sits happily with white or cream sheets and pillows, as shown, and suits a bedroom you want to feel calm and unfussy. Because it is a top layer you can pull it back on warmer nights and draw it up when the room is cooler, which makes it useful across the seasons and handy in a guest room where you want a made bed to look welcoming.

The face and reverse are pure cotton, a breathable natural fibre that feels soft against the skin and tends to wear well over time. The diamond quilting stitches the layers together so the polyester filling stays evenly spread and does not shift with use, and the frill edge is what gives it that country look. Cotton takes a wash readily, so this is a piece you can keep fresh in ordinary use. Pair it with plain bedding to let the ditsy print lead, or with a knitted throw for extra texture as pictured.

Is this a quilt to sleep under or a top layer?

It is a bedspread, a filled top layer that sits over your existing duvet or blanket for warmth and a tidy finish, rather than a duvet you sleep under.

What is it made from?

The face and reverse are 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that feels soft to the touch, and the inner filling is 100% polyester which gives the gentle padded loft.

Which size should I choose for my bed?

The smaller 150 x 200cm suits a single or a neat double, while the 240 x 260cm gives a fuller drop over the sides of a double or larger bed.

What does the diamond quilting do?

The diamond stitching holds the filling evenly in place so it does not bunch or shift with use, and it gives the surface its soft dimpled texture.

What is the frill for?

The frilled trim runs around the outer edge in a paler cream tone and gives the piece its country look, softening the line where the bedspread meets the bed.
