A folk art inspired quilt paired with a co-ordinating rug makes would make a tasteful addition to most rooms in a contemporary decor scheme. This book gives detailed instructions to make either, including lots of photographs. Two of the themed pairs would need alterations if you did not want to include Americana in you home.
