Ah, the irony of vintage on high-tech! We all love our mobile phones, tablets, iPads, Blackberries and other gadgets, and now, a new venture called QuiltMyPhone lets you share your love of vintage textiles by featuring them prominently on device cases. These quilt-inspired cases feature antique and vintage quilts from museum collections.
What could be better than to carry your favorite quilt on your favorite iPad case while supporting a museum at the same time? Quilt My Phone pays a royalty to the museum for the sale of all quilt-inspired cases from the collection. The designs rival anything from the 21st century and will give your device a more warm, vintage vibe, which is very chic right now.
