The art of quilting grew out of the very practical activity of making warm bed covers, often out of recycled fabrics. Even hundreds of years ago, creative quilters took the opportunity to make something beautiful as well as useful. Clever patterns were passed around and became traditional, but the art is not limited to those patterns that became most common. The only limit for quilt patterns is the imagination of the artist. We’ve brought you collections of video game quilts and science fiction quilts. Here are ten others that transcend the title of sewing project to become works of art, in a list I posted at mental_floss.
