Like many creative activities, the ancient art of patchwork began with humble roots, as a way to lengthen the life of a threadbare garment by sewing patches to it. In time, artistic influences led sewers and quilters to patch various fabrics together intentionally, mixing colours, patterns and even textures. This season in particular, we're seeing patchwork applied to everything from quilts to clothing to fashion accessories to home decor items of all types! From the look of heavily embellished crazy quilting to simple, orderly fabric squares joined together row-by-row, the look is popular because of its creative and casual charm.
