# Patriotic Kaleidoscope Art American Quilt Print Series is Named After the Four Founding Fathers By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-quilt-print-series References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/american-quilt-prints-by-little-things-studio/) & [littlethingsstudio](http://littlethingsstudio.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-wallpaper), 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." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Quilt Art:** Quilts being used purely as art is a rising trend, creating opportunities in the art world. - **Geometric Prints:** The popularity of bold and colorful geometric prints is a trend, creating opportunities for graphic design and fashion industries. - **Historical Inspiration:** Using historical figures or events as inspiration for art is a continuing trend, creating opportunities for art and design industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Art galleries and print makers can capitalize on the trend of using quilts purely as decoration. - **Graphic Design:** Design firms and printing companies can benefit from the trend of bold and colorful geometric prints. - **Fashion:** Fashion houses can utilize the popularity of geometric prints in their designs to create unique clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Americana Artwork Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-rockwell-for-pottery-barn.md) - [Designer-Forward Blanket Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanket-collections.md) - [Reimagined Patchwork Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-americana.md) - [Artist-Edition Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistedition-jigsaw-puzzles.md) - [Artful Washable Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggable-x-keith-haring.md) - [Color Blind Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromarama.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Artful Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archival-poster-collection.md) - [Affordable Fine Art Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fine-art-america.md)
