Op Art Patchwork Quilts

The patchwork quilt design above is from my 1950s book of needlework. I am just amazed at how similar it is to these Op Art pieces by UK artist Bridget Riley. In the UK there are a lot of 1960s ideas around in high street fashion looking back to Mary Quant with simple geometric shapes, bob hair cuts which go well with these, A patchwork quilt done in these styles below would certainly be eye catching. This article on Wikipedia will give you more information on the art of BRIDGET RILEY OP ARTIST

We have Quilts that use this type of visual impact with an OP Art effect.

I would suggest Black Irish Chain in the mono chrome palette.

For a vibrant patchwork quilt with fantastic warm colors to add a real richness to a room I would go for Toscana Patchwork Quilt by Victorian Heart to see it go to this link

that has a type of Op Art impact.

A room with this colour scheme would look very light if the warm beiges were used and then possibly one wall picking out one of the Toscana Patchwork Quilts Colors. Brass or gold items in the room would complete the decor and some soft warm lighting with up lighters or lamps on tables. It would go well with a neutral carpet or wood floors.

I hope this has given you some decor ideas and thanks for reading.
