Map quilts

Brooklyn-based Haptic Lab makes the most amazing map quilts of cities, like New York, Austin and Paris, and you can also order a custom map of a neighborhood or village you love. How sweet to cuddle up in your favorite place, even when you're miles away.

What city or neighborhood would you get? xoxo

  8. This is fantastic!! I would love to have a quilt of every city I've lived in. That would be quite a few quilts though, I would need to built another closet to house them all, but I think it would be worth it!

  11. Awww, that is so sweet - this would be such the perfect gift to someone who's homesick and miles away!! I'd get one of Taipei - because all my family's there and it's like a second home to me. But then, maybe when I'm in Taipei, I'd get a map of Southern California, because that's my primary home. It's like you can't win no matter where you are! My heart is cracked in two and split between two places...so the only solution would be, naturally, to get two blankets :)
