Well, the good points : this year the outfits are made in America and are dedicated to an American craft tradition. However; I have seen many patchwork quilts that were lovely. What noted quilt maker did Mr. Lauren consult before designing these? I bet none! Yes, as a designer he has creative license. Bottom line, I don't care for the sweaters. For me it looks like a jumbled mess. As my group of quilters would say ''it looks tacky".

Not crazy about them either. Like the thought of the quilt look but they do look pretty busy to me. Won't lose them in a snow bank.

I agree they look like ugly Christmas sweaters! And I saw on the MSN website that there is a warning to US athletes--probably because these sweater blare that they are Americans in a terrorist ridden place. I do like that the inspiration is from quilting, but....
