Bohemian Quilt

Bohemian Quilt
My grand daughter is getting married and I asked her if she wanted a quilt for her wedding and of course she said yes. I asked her what colors and she said Bohemian style quilt. Well, had no idea so looked it up and it's just brightly colored fabrics which I really like. Has anyone made a Bohemian Quilt and what pattern? Have looked some up and really pretty, but would like to get your takes on this. Pictures would be awesome. Thanks for your help.

When I think of bohemian as a style (like in clothes) I think paisley, loose, layered, not coordinated, hot mess. So I was curious and googled images of bohemian quilts, and if it were me making it for a gift I would ask lots more questions of what the grand daughter thinks of as bohemian b/c the range was scary wide.

When I think of bohemian I think of michael miller floral or amy bradley fabrics. Lots of wild blocks of color meshed together in such a way as to burst forward in your mind.
Or perhaps a paper pieced quilt pattern by jinney beyer. Tons of patterns and color to the fabrics.

Yummy looking! Yes, I would double check on what she means but paisley, true red and black/dark blue back grounds seem to be part of it as do larger simple squares. I also think of folklore type of fabric.

When I think of bohemian quilts, I think of Hippie style, or modern. Amy Butler or Kaffe Fasset. Lots of color. Maybe send her a link to this page and ask her if this is what she had in mind:

Gosh, I didn't even know that there were such things as Bohemian quilts. I think of the 60's when I think of Bohemian. I'd definitely send her pictures of some of these quilts and have her show you what style she likes best.
