Quilts for the design snob in all of us
When I think of quilts, modern isn't the word that jumps to mind. Cozy and comforting? Yes. Hip and fresh? Not really.  So when I came across the quilts made by Etsy seller Deer and Hippo I was delighted and more than a little surprised by just how at home they would be in the most modern of nurseries. They're just the thing to add a bit of warmth to baby's room.

Each quilt is a one-of-a-kind heirloom piece meant to be loved and used for many years, just like a traditional quilt. But unlike a traditional quilt, these will also please parents with more modern design sensibilities.

My current favorite is the Little Zebra quilt and psst--ignore the labels like "quilts for boys" or quilts for girls;" plenty of them are wonderfully gender neutral. And if you don't see exactly the colors you want, you can place a custom order at Deer and Hippo for a truly personalized heirloom. - Roxanna
