Confession: I am a quilter.  I love everything about quilts: the fabric, designs, and good old-fashioned homespun charm. So, to kick off our week of nostalgic Americana, quilts immediately came to mind. For those of you planning a casual farm or garden wedding, quilts are a terrific way to add shabby chic character to your event. Use them as tablecloths, spread them out randomly under trees to create quiet settings, or hang them as backdrops on barn walls or behind your dessert tables.
