If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to create an artful home. I love the idea of living with art in ways other than on the walls, too. Recently, I came across these quilts by b/perrino.

At first glance I thought these patterns were drawings or prints on paper. Without a doubt, these pieces are works of art on another level.

Not surprisingly, Barbara Perrino is an accomplished New York artist, versatile in many mediums.

After spending years as a fine art photographer, she made a ‘special gift for a special friend’ and the rest was history.

Here’s a great way to bring a bit of life, texture, and color into a room, without using a frame or glass.

Even if you don’t think of yourself as a quilt person, you’ve got to admit that b/perrino’s color palette and clean, graphic patterns are pretty appealing.

There’s no fuss, frill, or flower here; these are not your Grandma’s quilts. Try combining art like this with great original art on your walls. Sounds like a winning combination, don’t you think?
