A well-selected quilt can add color, warmth and a touch of grandma-style comfort to a room; but go too far and... well, maybe we don't want our home to be that much like grandma's.
Quilts by Don't Quilt Your Day Job
No chance of that with these pop culture-inspired quilts, with likenesses of mix tapes, street signs, headphones and the like on them in un-flowery colors. Our favorites are this fierce-looking owl (we think his name is Owen — go to the website, you'll see) and the boom box, a classic.
Don't Quilt Your Day Job also quilts recycled plastic bags into B.O.B.s: bags made out of bags. Many items can be ordered through the website or their Etsy store; additional patterns can be found on their blog. Ask about customization.

There are a lot of different styles of quilts and some can be down right modern with out being ugly. I have a friend that does landscapes, color fade quilts and such. One has a black grid, that fades from red to blue from corner to corner with purple at the center. Way better than a creepy owl.
