Quilting enables you to express your creativity and produce a beautiful piece of art to display in your home or give to family and friends. When you’re looking to add some flair to your quilts, however, embellishments are an easy and beautiful way to do so. To make your designs special and stand out, here are a few creative embellishments to try.

3 Unique Quilting Embellishments

1. Zippers

By adding zippers to your quilt, you’ll create a quirky texture and interesting, eye-catching lines. They also make your quilt appear more edgy. You can easily add them to any part of your project and purchase them in a variety of colors to match your specific design.

2. LED Lights

Light-emitting diode (LED) lights are one of the latest trends when it comes to quilting embellishments. Your quilt will instantly come to life when you add lights. The most popular way to do this is by incorporating them into quilt patches. You can purchase LED components at an electronics store or by going online.

3. Metal 

A metal embellishment adds an industrial look to any quilt and provides a different texture. You can use a variety of metal materials, including hardware cloth and mesh, to make your quilt three-dimensional. Metal is also an unexpected embellishment since the material isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when creating a blanket.
