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".

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....
