This week we’re supposed to experience record-breaking heat here in California and I am not looking forward to it. Having the air conditioner on 24/7 makes my skin and nose really dry, it wreaks havoc on my plants, and don’t get me started on trying to sleep at night. I tend to toss and turn quite a bit even though I have my fan on all night during heatwaves. I know I don’t have much control over the weather (even though I wish I did!) but I do have control over the bedding I choose. Over the weekend I started searching for gorgeous well-made summer quilts that will keep me cool from June until October. While doing research I learned that cotton, linen, and bamboo are the best materials to look for, which is helping me to narrow down my search!
Thankfully there are many beautiful summer quilts in a variety of styles and price ranges. I noticed that Nordstrom carries summer bedding that is said to keep you cool. Serena & Lily has quite the selection of beautiful cotton and linen bedding that you will adore for years to come, and that’s just the beginning! I love that many of the quilts are neutral in color or come in a variety of colors so they will complement any bed beautifully regardless of style! Speaking of neutrals, Pottery Barn states that “white linens absorb less heat during the day than darker ones, keeping your bed cool even when you sleep in on the weekends.”
If you are searching for a gorgeous quilt to keep you cool this summer, you’re in luck! Today, I’m excited to share 20 of the best summer quilts in a variety of styles, colors, and price ranges.
Beautiful Embroidered Quilts For Summer
My love is strong for the embroidered Serena & Lily Cortland Quilt “in soft cotton voile.” It’s classy, chic and the tassels add even more dimension to it. The best part is it is reversible, so it is as if you are getting two quilts in one! The bedding reverses to a chevron pattern which is just as beautiful as these embroidered botanicals seen in the photo below.
Anthropologie is one of my favorite places to shop online for beautiful bedding! Over the years I have purchased countless quilts and duvet covers. I love their three-dimensional and embroidered bedding. This beautiful Bajada Jersey Quilt is definitely on my wish list. It comes in white, purple, blue, yellow and coral! They’re absolutely gorgeous and add a lot of personality to a room.
I can’t get enough of this blue and white patchwork Elmwood Quilt! It is made of “100% cotton percale base with 100% cotton chambray applique.” This vintage inspired quilt is pretty, classy and machine washable! As a pet owner/dog mom, having bedding that is machine washable is extremely important since my dogs have been known to jump on my bed after rolling in the dirt or jumping in the pond.
Have you had a chance to check out Coyuchi Created for Anthropologie Collection? There are so many organic cotton essentials to choose from! This lightweight Coyuchi Pebbled Handstitched Organic Quilt in dark grey is a must! I love that it is machine washable and that it is a darker color. As a pet owner, I currently have dark bedding that is machine washable! This beauty is available in full/queen and in King! It’ll look great paired with solid color shams or with a fabulous print in a similar shade.
This stunning bestselling Belgian Flax Linen Handcrafted Quilt comes in quite a few different colors! It’s perfect on its own for summer and will look great adorned with warm flannel sheets and blankets during the chilly months. This is definitely one that you can use year round!

Gorgeous Print Summer Quilts
I love investing in gorgeous furniture, home decor, and bedding that does double duty! Many of Serena & Lily’s beautiful summer quilts are reversible which is an added bonus! For instance, you can’t go wrong with this lovely Serena & Lily Ashmont Quilt in French blue and sky blue. I can’t get enough of the blue and white “stripes and botanicals.” This beautiful bedding is also available in coastal blue and sunflower (yellow) which will brighten any bedroom!
John Robshaw’s homewares collection at Anthropologie is beyond gorgeous, especially his bedding. This beautiful floral print John Robshaw Textiles Lina Lapis Quilt Set is exquisite, elegant, and sophisticated.
Nothing says summer or Nantucket for that matter quite like blue and white stripes! This must have Serena & Lily Nantucket Stripe Quilt has me dreaming of the East Coast and hydrangeas! I love everything about this gorgeous quilt, especially the ruffled edge. It is both glamorous and chic, and will make a statement in any bedroom! If you’re hosting friends and/or family for the 4th of July, this bedding will also be ideal for your guest bedroom!
I have long been a fan of the luxurious Serena & Lily Cambria Quilt and have featured this beautiful bedding on the blog quite a bit over the years! It is inspired by a “vintage block print” and is available in French blue, navy blue, and sand. Which one is your favorite? I simply adore them all!
Since pineapples are the universal symbol for hospitality, I can’t think of a better quilt for your guest bedroom than this Isla Quilt! Don’t you just love the dainty pineapples? Believe it or not, but it was “block printed by hand!” This bedding is available in French blue and Evergreen. Both colors are absolutely stunning!
Classic Summer Quilts For Every Bedroom Regardless Of Style
The Serena & Lily Sutter Linen Quilt has long been a favorite. It’s classy and comes in quite a few different colors to complement your furniture and existing home decor. This quilted bedding looks great on this trendy canopy bed, and will also look fab on your rattan bed or upholstered headboard!
