Acquiring a Quilt

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find highly styled beds to be gorgeous but a bit unrealistic for my lifestyle.  I do not have a good spot to store 8 throw pillows and shams when I'm in the bed, and it's not so cold in my house that we need a sheet+blanket+comforter on us while we sleep aside from our 1 week of snow and ice each year.

Pretty, but with eleven pillows (via)

This means that I'm in the market for a quilt.  I have a light blue quilted duvet cover (without anything in it) from West Elm, and had it layered under another white/gray/yellow DwellStudio quilt from Target until this white dog decided to chew three holes in the patterned quilt while I was in the shower. (The black one was an innocent bystander)


This means I'm in the market for a new quilt this year.  Unfortunately, finding one is not going to be easy because I am a cheapo and also picky.  I've rounded up a few options, but it will be hard to find something that goes with my slate gray headboard, black furniture, and pale gray sheets.



Which one do you like best?  I'm sort of leaning towards white the more I look online and see the possibilities with throw blankets and pillows.  Decisions, decisions..
