Inspiration: Rugs

If you know me, then you know that in my "day job," I restore oriental carpets.  Every day that I go to work, I get to be surrounded, quite literally, by beautiful hand-dyed yarn and gorgeous (mostly!), antique rugs.  Many of the carpets that I get to work on are tribal in origin and offer so much design inspiration.  But, every once in a while, there's a carpet that seems worn beyond saving.  I love what Loom Rugs does with rugs like these!
Loom has a beautiful selection of very interesting rugs, both new and vintage.  Everything on their site is amazing - pop over and take a look!

I'm tempted to turn every one of these into a quilt...but especially the black and white one.  We'll see!
