In rural Chinese villages today, women are creating dynamic patchwork textiles, as their mothers and grandmothers did before them. This tea towel pulls its design from a patchwork bed cover made in a rural Chinese village. The abstract patterns and shapes create a kaleidoscopic overall design, making this a standout piece.
