Hello hive!

What does your bed look like?

I've just finished remaking my bed, and I was admiring the gorgeous king-size quilt my grandmother made for Mr. Frog and I. She makes one for every stable couple in the family, quilting is her hobby.

Our current bed is a queen, but we really need a king to be truly comfortable. Mr. Frog tends to sprawl, and we share with our beagle Grunt, who is just like his daddy.

Our quilt pattern is titled "Cosmos". It is a black quilt, with blocks of color in pairs that overlap diagonally. The blocks start with light color in the middle and gets darker to the edges, so they look like they glow. There are 5 shades/patterns for each color, and our blocks are blue and red, green and purple. The black is I think a true flat black (not usual for grandma, she hates plain), but with the color blocks it is very well balanced. The whole thing is quilted with rainbow thread.

The sheets underneath don't match, they were just so silky soft that we've stolen them from Grandad's linen closet. We may or may not keep them when we move out of his house

We have 3 pillows. 2 for Mr.Frog, 1 for me. Our Jack Russel died a year and a half ago, so I no longer have him to cuddle/hug and instead have a big floppy frog.

Our bed is actually raised a bit courtesy of a 1x4 wooden frame added between the bed frame and the box spring. Mr.Frog likes to have an arm straight out under my pillow, and kept whacking his hand on the night stands. Now the bed is slightly taller
