The difficulty with vintage is finding King size spreads, I think that Queen is difficult, too. This full-sized flower power spread has a wonderful satin finish… great avocado colors… This kind of quilting — when you actually quilt around the flowers and tuft them up, is really wonderful… it gives great dimension to what is otherwise a big, flat, box taking up most of your room. You also see this kind of detail quilting done with flowered chintzes sometimes. Nice. From seller aubiejeanvintage. Watch my etsy favorites – over in the right-hand column — I’ll be adding bedroom this ‘n that all week.

I think I had that one! Two twin size on the bunk beds my sister and I shared. That quilting is like trapunto, it really adds a sculptural quality to the pattern.
I’m so glad that you are doing this bedroom feature! It’s so true – you can find vintage full sized bedspreads all day but when it comes to King or Queen – wow, hard.
This will likely be “86′d” for being negative but vintage bedding is one of the places I have to draw the line. It’s a little like used undergarments. Wash them all you want and I still won’t wear them.
Also, it’s pretty hard to find a queen size vintage Danish or American Modern bed. Did Heywood Wakefield even ever make queen size beds? I seem to find more King size than Queen, and then about a bazillion Full size to every one King!

hey, st. chris, i let your comment through. Hey, I even acknowledged the issue in the post if you take a close look. Also – there is now this big thing with bedbugs going around. So one must take care.
For those wonderful fitted bedspreads, try http://www.touchofclass.com. They come in all sizes and a variety of colors.
Another MCM decor touch in the bedroom and in the living room are tufted throw pillows.
Oh, Heywood-Wakefield is making the Streamline series again, so King and Queen sized beds are available.
