Quilts have been making quite the comeback over the last few months and now you can enjoy them purely as art rather than a blanket or something more practical thanks to the American Quilt Print Series. A set of four prints, these artworks happen to also look like what I would see if I gazed through a toy kaleidoscope and kept rotating the top. Vibrantly and boldly colorful, it is full of fun geometric shapes that would cheer up any space.
Created by Kate Thomas of Little Things Studio, each of the posters in the these American Quilt Print Series is named after one of the Four Founding Fathers -- Hancock, Washington, Franklin and Jefferson -- which makes this a very patriotic series. As Thomas sees it, "Our history is not old and stale. It is relevant today."
