ABS discussed the regulatory changes resulting from the Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico and the broader impact on regulatory schemes worldwide while CCS highlighted the impact of deepsea development on the technology standards for the region's offshore industry.

Touchy FeelyHD Closed Captioning
Lynn Shelton
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
Plot Summary
Abby (Rosemarie DeWitt) is a sought-after massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul (Josh Pais) thrives on routine, running a failing dental practice with his assistant and daughter Jenny (Ellen Page). Suddenly, Abby develops an aversion to bodily contact, which not only makes her unable to do her job, but also severely affects her relationship with her boyfriend (Scoot McNairy). As Abby navigates her way through an identity crisis, her brother's dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his "healing touch."
Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews
- Reviews Counted: 56
- Fresh: 20
- Rotten: 36
- Average Rating: 5.2/10
Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: "Touchy Feely" becomes disoriented and doesn't recover its direction.
Fresh: Touchy Feely is minor, but these people are good company.
Rotten: Trading her improv-based filmmaking style for a more traditional screenplay-grounded model, Lynn Shelton delivers an uneven mix of half-formed conflicts in Touchy Feely.
Rotten: A work that gestures toward depths without truly plumbing them.
Customer Reviews
Hey, okay!
Hey, with all the really bad movies available for viewing displeasure these days, I'm not going to complain one bit when I get to watch something as unusual/odd as this. Very interesting acting, especially by Ellen Page and Josh Pais who is a kind of revelation. Allison Janney is of course her usual amazing self (in fact this movie reverberates in kind with the wonderful "The Way Way Back" - also graced by Janney), so deeply does she inhabit her roles. I am a complete sucker for movies wherein everybody gets what they really need and a form of winning is portrayed that is believable and without bathos. Life can be this way, dammit. I believe! People who don't like this movie: cynical, hipless sticks-in-the-existential-mud. More please.
Most depressing movie ever
This movie should not be called a comedy by any standards. I felt like the writer director was clinically depressed and infected everyone involved with the movie from actors to dop to score maker and by the end of it this viewer too. The writing is poor quality, not because the ideas and lines are bad, but because so many basic film craft rules are broken, we are left wondering who these people are and what their connections are, and at the end of the movie we hardly know any more than at the beginning. So much time with so many good actors so uselessly wasted!
Loved it
I'm glad I watched this despite its low Rotten Tomatoes rating as it turned out to be a really nice, sweet film. In the film, there's a performance of "Horses" (by Tomo Nakayama of Grand Hallway) which is such a great song.

I used the CHI Nourish Intense Silk Coarse Hair Masque today, for the first time on my dry and coarse hair. My hair is curly by nature, and it has become very dry due to the frequent times I have to color my grays. Needless to say, I have split ends, and I have some areas where my hair is over processed increasing the curly, dehydrated and unhealthy look. I have invested on several top of the line concentrated conditioners to no avail. I went to the extent of only wash my hair every other day, and that was very difficult for me to get used to it. Once again, I did not notice a major improvement, as expected; until I started using the CHI Nourish Intense Silk Hair Masque in combination with the 100% pure Argan Oil, that I also purchased at Overstock. After using the Argain Oil for two weeks, and the CHI Nourish Intense Silk Hair Masque, my hair not only looks healthier, but it feels much better. I am no longer afraid of using the flat iron to straighten my hair. Thank you Overstock for the great products you carry and the great prices you pass on to the customers!
- Did the image onsite match the product? yes
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
- How is the quality of the product? very good
My hair was very receptive to this product. It was nice and thick for my 4c hair. i noticed one thing though, while applying , your hair must remain wet or else it will be very sticky. Because I have very coarse and thick hair, it takes longer for me to apply and part, meanwhile, my hair is drying and applying the mask to semi-wet hair gives you a sticky mess. But that's my mistake not the product's. I sat under a heated cap for 30 minutes and washed it out. My hair was shinny and soft. I look forward to using this on a weekly basis.
My hair is relaxed and colored with a permanent color it shoud be broken and have split ends but not with this stuff! It rocks!! I will continue to use it for softness and shine.
Liked it but big price for such a small bottle. Works well on hair.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? FINE
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? POOR
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. WORST HAIR PROUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED, I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE IN A JAR


text: India: Unwanted girls get new names The Rice Bowl The Rice Bowl Living Health Politics Religion Asia India Jason Overdorf on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM A young Indian Hindu unmarried girl, known as a 'kumari', is dressed as the Hindu goddess Durga during a ritual for the Durga Puja festival in Siliguri on October 4, 2011. District health officials in Satara, Maharashtra, are planning to identify and rename hundreds of little girls saddled with the name Nakushi -- which literally means "Unwanted" -- by their parents, the Indian Express reports. The idea is to drive home the message that despite the remaining social evils of dowry, bride-burning and discrimination, daughters are just as valuable as sons and deserve the same love and attention, the paper said. In 1990, Amartya Sen famously wrote of the 100 million missing women, especially in Asia, and of how these numbers "tell us, quietly, a terrible story of inequality and neglect leading to excess mortality of women". Twenty years on, much has changed — but an incident like this is a reminder of much that has stubbornly lingered. Apart from the extreme practices of foeticide and infanticide, girl children are more subtly discriminated against with parental bias, lack of nurturing and nutrition, unfair resource allocation and cultural hostility. If they are sent to school, they tend to be taken out sooner, their work (often domestic and unskilled) is rendered invisible and thankless, they are sent away from the family after their weddings (the cost of which is held against them), until they often internalise a sense of being worthless, and perpetuate the same practices. We don't even have to go to demographers to understand the gender deficit — the explicit preference for sons and devaluing of daughters are obvious from personal narratives all around us. That means more than legislation to prevent sex-selective abortions. It means innovative awareness programs like Satara's renaming drive, and schemes to give bicycles to girls who attend school, the Express argues.

Who Stole Fashion's Show?
By RUTH LA FERLA
Published: September 12, 1999
MARK MONTANO is a believer. A designer and New York boutique owner who is introducing his collection for spring 2000 today, he insists that the runway is still the launching pad that can send a fashion newcomer rocketing into the big leagues. No strategy, he argues, is too showy or shrill to help him reach that goal. ''You want to get as big a hoopla as you can at the show,'' said Mr. Montano, now in his second season under the tents in Bryant Park. ''If you run out on the runways naked at the end, all the better.''
He may well have to. It takes that brash a stunt these days to galvanize a crowd. But if he imagines that such an antic performance will register as more than a blip on fashion's radar, he'd better think again.
As some 1,700 journalists and hundreds of retailers descend like an avalanche for New York's twice-a-year Fashion Week, which started yesterday and runs through Sept. 17, Mr. Montano is one of some 125 designers jousting for attention, each struggling to pierce the consciousness of the style-dazed throng. Clearly, the shows remain a potent magnet. But as a source of trends that influence what women will actually buy and wear next spring, their power has waned, diminished to the point, some say, that they are no longer fashion's main event. ''It's a whole new world out there,'' said Howard L. Davidowitz, a New York retail analyst, one in which ''the shows are just not as important as they used to be.''
Now, hot style bulletins are as likely to be issued from boutiques and billboards, the street, over television or even from the concert stage, the last expertly comandeered by Tommy Hilfiger, the sponsor of Jewel's current tour. Trends equally emanate from Hollywood, where every bag and bangle sported by the stars is slavishly noted by a fawning press. Even the mall-based mega-chains are vying to seize fashion leadership, like the Gap, whose latest ads decree ''Everybody in leather.'' Who is to say that such an edict is less authoritative than Michael Kors's catwalk endorsement of pony skin?
Pashmina shawls, still blanketing the streets, made their debut months ago, not on any runway but coiled around the shoulders of New York's most visible socialites. Vintage knit sweaters reminiscent of ''The Ice Storm'' first materialized on models and film stars, who transmitted their taste for this thrift-shop staple to hordes of fans; designers took the look to stores only this fall. And baggy trousers, surely this decade's most widespread and persistent trend, were introduced by Los Angeles street gangs, mimicking prison garb, and were spread to the masses by rap stars.
''Fashion is just everywhere -- it's everybody's game,'' said Teri Agins, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, who argues in a new book, ''The End of Fashion'' (William Morrow, $25), that runway-centered, high-fashion designers are too stuck in their ways to notice that mass marketers like Mr. Hilfiger have stolen their show.
Mr. Hilfiger's shrewd long-running promotional strategy has been to align himself with rock stars and rappers, from Mick Jagger to Lil' Kim to Sugar Ray, borrowing the musicians' built-in cool to sell racy leather jeans and rugby shirts. Such endorsements complement a carpet-bomb advertising campaign, which celebrates a hip young life style rather than cutting-edge design creativity. When Mr. Hilfiger presents his runway show on Tuesday at 8 P.M. -- tellingly, in the Theater at Madison Square Garden, not at Bryant Park -- it will no doubt be packed, but it will play like an afterthought in the communication of his fashion message.
''People want fast fashion,'' said Bud Konheim, the president of Nicole Miller. ''They're not waiting for the runways to find out what these gurus think.''
The notion of the high-fashion designer as oracle, his every word and gesture drunk in by eager acolytes, seems as dated as the shirtwaist dress. It was different in the 1960's, when the designer had become a figure of nearly mythic stature. He was, in the words of Marilyn Bender, who chronicled the 60's style world in ''The Beautiful People'' (Coward-McCann, 1967), ''a far-ranging thinker or activist,'' one who could, with the tweak of a seam, impose his vision on a style-struck public and simultaneously reflect its mood. ''I don't initiate my design; it's just an interpretation of what people want,'' Rudi Gernreich told Ms. Bender, and she had no reason to doubt him.
Few couturiers could make such claims today, their dual role as social bellwethers and tastemakers usurped by a cluster of apparel titans. In recent years fashion giants like Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Nautica have diverted much of the creativity that used to flourish on the runways into canny ads that telegraph a message of luxury and ease.
''Feel comfortable,'' Liz Claiborne urges in its latest print ads, built on the image of a tousled model wearing a twin set and satin skirt. Mr. Lauren conveys the same idea wordlessly in a campaign that features a model half-reclining in a ballgown on a plump white chaise. Such messages resonate with readers, who, research shows, study them as deeply as the editorial content of fashion magazines.

April 1st Edition
The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate to pursue price stability — interpreted as low, steady inflation — and full employment. As the unemployment rate has fallen, there have been increasing calls for the Fed to begin to raise interest rates so as to ward off undesirable increases in inflation.

Yesterday the Wall Street Journal ran a compelling story about the Bank of Bird-in-Hand, an Amish country bank, the first new bank since the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act five years ago. One new bank (although regulators are nearing approval of a second). Stunning. The U.S. used to average 100 new banks every year.

Congress is broken. Gridlock is permanent. A House divided cannot rule. Senate rules are unworkable. There have been a zillion variants of the diagnosis with the same ultimate bottom line: nothing gets done in Washington. Except suddenly exactly the opposite happens.

The president has made his official defense of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, aka Obamacare) on the occasion of its 5th anniversary. "The bottom line is this for the American people: this law is saving money for families and for businesses," he said. "This law is also saving lives, lives that touch all of us."

Net Neutrality Irony: Remember net neutrality? Remember when the White House supported on its web site "a principle known as 'net neutrality' — and it says that an entrepreneur's fledgling company should have the same chance to succeed as established corporations…" Now, as it turns out, new research by AAF's Will Rinehart shows that it is these very same small businesses that are under assault from net neutrality.

On Friday, as most eyes were trained on the NCAA tournament, the Obama administration finalized yet another regulation to increase the costs of producing energy in this country. All this hiding the ball – for the sake of mixing sports metaphors – is getting old.

Today, AAF launches the culmination of five years worth of research: Reg Rodeo (www.regrodeo.com). This online database contains information on every federal rule with a quantifiable cost or paperwork burden since 2008. Users can search federal rules by the affected industry, agency, or by law (Affordable Care Act or Dodd-Frank). If users really know their stuff, there is a function to type in the name of the regulation to return a result.
March 19th Edition
The Senate yesterday released the draft version of its budget resolution for fiscal 2016, joining the draft House resolution that was made public Tuesday. This kicks off the process that (presumably) leads to a joint budget resolution that will govern the budgetary actions of the Congress this year.

Blue Island- should I go for it
Hi All,
I've been reading this forum for a while now but this is my first post. We are just starting a kitchen great room addition and having my first big design dilemma. I'm planning on white painted cabinets in a shaker-ish style (Brookhaven Edgemont Recessed) and had planned to do a nut brown stain maple on the island, but at the last minute we just aren't loving it. I guess we are worried that our kitchen is just starting to look a little generic and want to shake it up a little. I've always loved blue, and was planning on using it as a main color in the space, so my husband suggested that we just go for it on the island. I love the idea, but our kitchen designer is skeptical and worries that we'll get sick of it. Does anyone have a colored island and how do you like it? Would you take the risk? Its a huge 9 ft. island and will have either a white granite or marble-look quartz top. Floors are light/natural oak, appliances are stainless. Island would be a blue/grey color. We are a young family (3 kids + dog) and really want the room to be a lively colorful family space, but also very practical and durable.
9 ft island, light blue/grey, white marble top. Check!
Here is a link that might be useful:
I did a small blue Omega island with Cambria Torquay on it in my new showroom. I had some skeptics, but now that the backsplash and paint are done, everyone is wowed by it. Blue in kitchens is classic, and although it might not be the current hot trend, it's never out of style either.
Pardon the stuff on top of the island and the lack of grout in the backsplash. Our grand opening is 11 days away and we are working full tilt on everything under the sun.
I think we will! It's so true that I could just as easily get sick of the brown. Thanks so much for all of the pictures too- I truly love the blue.
Beekeeperswife- what are your countertops? I love them. Going to pick ours out this weekend and that's just the look I'm hoping for!
the counters are Super White.
Glad to hear you are going for the blue island!
Ditto the sentiments above.
We too stressed for days over picking a color for the island. Reasons for wanting color won out with a little voice that said if you hate it, it could probably be painted. And from what I've seen on this site, professional painting is a doable thing.
Never a day has gone by with any regrets on picking a color for the island.
I love the blue islands. I didn't see any of those before we did ours, and we wer trying to decide between white and cherry onthe one hand and figuring out whether we wanted to put some blue in the kitchen. We would up with white perimeter, knotty cherry island and a blue wall of pantry and utility cabinets to the ceiling surrounding the fridge. No regrets.
I say go for it too!
Here's another great kitchen with a blue grey island.
We've been looking at the Brookhaven Edgemont door also. What color white are ypu considering? Do you have a layout yet? Would love to see it.
Omg do it! Look at SW Rainwashed. absolutely gorgeous. It's more of a light green/blue but it's perfection IMO. And if you wind up hating a blue island, paint is cheap and there's so many other choices!
Here is a link that might be useful: thread w/ rainwashed cabinets
I am in the process of having my island (and base cabinets) painted blue! The uppers will be a light beige.
The first coat of blue went on today (well, just on one end of the island, to make sure we like it) so it's too soon to post pictures, but I will as soon as it's done. (I am painting the existing 40-year-old cabinets.)
I posted a similar question about a month ago... search for roulie or navy cabinets for the thread... I got a lot of support for blue!
We're thinking a mid-toned greyish blue would be best in the space. The KD is coming tomorrow with the samples and it literally needs to be picked out and ordered then or we will hold up the whole project, so the pressure is on. She is also going to have a cow when I tell her we're getting a farmhouse sink after all. I am nervous, but excited- blue just feels right to me once we thought of it. I've never posted a pic- but the link below is our inspiration photo.
island: We're doing the Alpine White for the perimeter. I was planning on doing the Antique but it looked too yellow against my existing trim (which I have in the whole house). I loved both, you just have to see it in your room. I like the Edgemont door a lot- it's got the simplicity of shaker but the little bevel detail really makes it pop.
If I can figure out how to post the layout I will.
Here is a link that might be useful: Inspiration photo
another example of medium blue/gray with white uppers. Pretty!

An audited financial statement might be able to help companies to get loans. "We've had clients who needed these statements to even get the loan, and it can make a difference in the interest rate you get," said David Barbeito of the accounting firm Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra. But audited financial statements can be pricey, so you should make sure they are worth it for your business.

perfect for my bedroom for the summer monthsRead More
good old fashion look
Love vintage look. This fits the billRead More
My mother picked this out for her new apartment thinking it was a light cream background. It is YELLOW, there is no other way to put it. We were told by customer service they sent us the wrong one. The replacement arrived and was still a definite yellow background. The picture on line is very deceiving.Read More
Subtle colors, feminine pattern
This fabric is delightfully old-fashioned - subtle colors, fresh, feminine design, without being frilly or fussy.Read More
Lovely quilt
We were quite satisfied with this reversible quilt that looks just like the photos. I bought it for my 96 yr. old mother, and every day she looks at it and exclaims how beautiful it is.Read More
Absolutely Beautiful!
I am SO glad I decided to buy this quilt set. I wanted to try something different in our master bedroom as I have had the same color scheme for a few years now since we bought our home. I wanted to add color, but not TOO much color. This set caught my eye on the website but I was having trouble deciding between this one and one other. I am so happy I decided on this one! This is truly one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. The picture doesn't do it justice and the quality is phenomenal. I have a high queen size bed with a 3 inch memory foam topper so I was a bit concerned that something labeled as being for full/queen would be too small. I was thrilled to see that it fits perfectly! Rose Romance is the perfect name for this, our bedroom has been transformed into a romantic sanctuary. I had a lot of fun finding accessories to add to the room to make this set. It looks just gorgeous. Thanks Overstock for a great deal!!!Read More
Beautiful Romance!
I purchased the Rose Romance quilt set in the King size. There is ample drape on all sides. The background color is ecru. The flower colors are pink, magenta, yellow, & blue with olive-colored leaves. The outline is tan with white scroll work. The scalloped edges add a nice touch. It gives that added warmth without the heavy weight. This is what I've been searching for & finally found it on O.Co!Read More
Would buy it again
This quilt looks great on my bed. It's note to heavy to sleep under on a summer night. but heavy enough to keep you warm fall night.Read More
This is one of the best bedspreads I have ever purchased! I looked at several stores/products before purchasing. This was the best quality at a great price,Read More
Negative Review Title
I was quite dissapointed. While the rose pattern is lovely, the picture is very deceiving. The background color is far from ivory and more like an antique tea stained color. But the shams were the greatest disappoinment as in the picture they match and in reality they look like they don't even belong together because they were cut randomly from the material. My bed certainly does not look like the picture here!Read More
Questions & Answers
matches the decor in my bedroom as far as iI can tell from the pictures
I have a queen size bed. It is a tall bed. If I order the full/queen size will it be big enough to serve as bedspread or should I order king size?
Hello Skbgogirl, a queen size should fit a standard queen mattress, you will want to compare the dimensions of your bed, to the dimensions of the quilt to ensure it will fit properly. Thanks for shopping with us!
this looks more like a bedspread then quilt, what is it
Hello cindo122, this set includes one quilt and two chams. Thanks for shopping with us!
Quilted bedspread
it is a Quilt but it is a One Piece quilt not a Patchwork it come with two shams I ordered up a size and it is very nice
What is the brand name please?
Hello 8dogsonthebed, This quilt set is so beautiful! Unfortunately, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Thank you for shopping with us.
A couple of the pictures give the quilt's background a greenish hue. Is that the accurate color? I've seen it described as Ecru but that shade can vary quite a bit.
Thank you for your question mjmcle63. The quilt's background color is Ecru. The digital images we display have the most accurate color possible. However, due to differences in computer monitors, we cannot be responsible for variations in color between the actual product and your screen. Have a great day.
No the background is a musty yellow color.
The background is actually a light, creamy yellow, not ecru by any means.
no ecru is between a faded yellow with greenish tones.
Interesting, evaozzy02, mine has no "greenish tones" at all. It has a creamy yellow in the background and some blue details.
The one I received had no greenish tinge, but the colors are all brighter than on my monitor, not muted as they appear. The background is definitely yellow,not ecru.
when u click on all the pictures it says reverse on the one that shows the background as being white instead of a beige yellow...so is it reverseable to where u can have a white background instead?????
No, it is beige on the reverse side too. There are small white areas of white. I thought it was white but was able to use in anothe room. Very nice!
It is the same creamy yellow tone in the reverse, with flowers. It is NOT ecru at all.
It looks like there is a bit of pure white in the design--is this the case?
Hello 7terry3, other customers have reviwed the blanket as having many different colors, including beige, ivory, blue and pink, but none have noted white in their reviews. I think the white that you are seeing is the way the picture was taken. I really hope this helps you. Thank you for shopping with us.
There is no white it is a dark beige.
7terry3, it is actually a creamy yellow. I was quite disappointed when I got it. It is not bad looking, but I wanted an ecru color to match my bedroom décor...
How much does this quilt weigh?
Thank you for contacting us kermiejo. The weight is: Twin 6 pounds Queen 8 pounds King 9 pounds Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is this a light, medium, or heavy weight quilt?
Hello skyeshrum, other customers have reviewed that the quilt is to heavy for a summer night but a good weight for a fall night. I hope that helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
A nice medium weight quilt. I would not want it any heavier. It's about the same weight as those my Mother quilted...
I live in the Phoenix, AZ area & think it is PERFECT for our weather!! Not too hot for air-conditioning & would add maybe a thin light-weight blanket for winter (I don't turn on any heat)
medium weight perfect for any season,you might need a light blanket during the winter depending on where you live.
I would also like to know if this quilt/sham is a Laura Ashley product. Thank you.
Hi springbloom, thanks for your interest in this Rose Romance Full/ Queen-size Quilt Set, unfortunately we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises.
The packaging does not list any manufacturer. It says, "Finely Stitched," it is made in china, and it is 100% cotton.
You know, I thought it was a Laura Ashley product myself!! Does NOT say that but definately looks & feels like their products.
I never owned a Laura Ashley product. The product is very sturdy, well made and I think it will last many years.
I have read the reviews and it seems there is a problem that the color is not truly IVORY. People are saying it's more like a beige or tan and I am wondering if this is true.
It is somewhere between ivory and tan.
Yes, it is. It has more of a yellow/tan under tone.
The color is more ecru with a band of khaki... but you have to look closely to determine that.
I would agree it is more ecru with a band of khaki......I plan to paint my walls yellow & have khaki curtains, and have pink as my decorating COLOR! It works perfectly!!!
The color is not ivory nor ecru--at least not the one I can see right now on my bed. What I got is a creamy yellow.
is it correct that only Standard Shams come with the King Size Quilt? thanks so mund for you time and attention.
Thank you for your interest. Yes, The King Size Quilt also has the standard size shams.
Since it is 100% cotton, should I expect a lot of shrinkage after washing?
Unfortunately we don't have an answer for this.
Actually, I just looked again at the description and it is made of pre-shrunk cotton. Sorry for the trouble!
I bought a king for my queen bed, thinking it would shrink. Big mistake... I washed it and it barely shrank, so now I have this huge comforter on my bed.
What does the reverse side of the quilt look like?
The quilt looks the same on both sides.
It does not look the same on both sides. If you look at the last picture you will see how it looks.
Shopping Guides
Popular Types of Quilts
Out of all the bedding made, quilts may be the most diverse. Quilts are produced in all kinds of colors, patterns, sizes, styles and types. If you're looking for a quilt but don't know where to start, take a look at the popular types of quilts below to learn more about this beautiful kind of bedding. Amish quilts: These beautiful quilts reflect the Amish way of living and feature solid colors, deep hues, geometric patterns and very little embellishment. Amish quilts contain the highest quality of construction and stitching, and, sometimes, the wonderful stitch patterns (scrolls, feathers) contrast with the simple backgrounds of their quilts. Applique quilts: These quilts use a French needlework technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto another piece of material to create a design. Applique is used extensively in the quilting process and is not to be confused with patchwork. Patchwork pieces are joined together; applique is sewn on top of the whole piece. Baltimore album quilts: Baltimore album quilts came from Maryland in the early 1800s. Each block in the design of these quilts is appliqued differently, often in ornate floral patterns. Bangladeshi quilts: These quilts are made with layers of Saree cloth. Saree cloth is silk cloth used by women of India to wrap and fold around the body as a garment. The cloth is usually 40 to 60 inches wide by 6 yards long. These quilts are used as bedding or as decorative pieces. Bargello quilts: Bargello quilts are created with offset squares in an up-and-down geometric "V" pattern. The small squares of different fabrics and the colorful designs make these quilts true works of art. Hawaiian quilts: Hawaiian quilts are not pieced, and they usually showcase a large, symmetrical applique in the center of the quilt. Most often the background is white or another solid color. Patchwork quilts: Patchwork quilts are constructed of many small pieces of fabric which are put together in an improvised or irregular pattern. This is a well-known quilt style, and examples of historical patchwork quilts are found in many museums. Ralli quilts: Ralli quilts, sometimes known as rilli quilts, are traditional quilts made in India or Pakistan. There is an abundance of embroidery as well as applique on the patchwork patterns. Star quilts: Star quilts are created with a large star shape, or several star shapes, dominating the pattern. Wedding ring quilts: Wedding ring quilts are crafted in a design of interlocking rings. This pattern goes far back in history: in the fourth century it was used to decorate drinking cups in Rome. Wedding ring quilts are highly popular and make wonderful wedding gifts. If you're looking for a gift to please an engaged couple, you can't go wrong with a wedding quilt. Bedding always makes a significant gift for the bride and groom, and a quilt with coordinating Egyptian cotton sheets can be even better. View All Quilts Back to Guides Directory View All Quilts
