What Is a Crypto Quilt?
Crypto Quilts was once a big trend in the 1930's. Now, they are just a new and modern twist on the classic style. It is also known as a 'net' quilt and a 'crypto' quilt.
This type of quilt is like a charm block style but made with fabrics that you can wear. For example, you can have your quilt framed with matching fabrics. This can be anything from a printed long sleeve T-shirt, or even a knit baby sweater, or it can be a colorful baby sweater with a matching background. This way, the charm blocks come out looking like handmade quilts when you put them together.
The great part about these quilts is that they come in a number of different styles. There are even some made with thick felts. But whatever you choose, this type of blanket is sure to be something that you will enjoy for many years to come.
When you go shopping for a Crypto Quilt, you want to find one that is in the sizes of a regular blanket. There are some patterns that are made just for making a large or extra large quilt, so make sure you know what size it is going to be before you go to make it.
Usually, a quilt made with a charmset will run about the same price as one made with a standard size. But then, if you have a specialty quilt, it may be more expensive. So, keep this in mind when you are shopping for one.
If you are buying one for yourself, make sure that you use the same color that you are using for your room. Since most of the time, you are putting a collection together of quilts that will all match, you want to have the same color scheme as your room. While most people are not going to be using the same fabric as they would for a different style, there are times when they would like to mix things up a bit. So, if you want to use a colored yarn, you should make sure that you get some of the colors right so that you do not have a mismatched look in your home.
Another thing to keep in mind when you are buying one is the embellishments that you want to have on it. For example, you can have colorful fringe, beads, flowers, buttons, ribbons, etc. This is just one way that you can add some color to your Crypto Quilt.
