Patchwork gets a bad rap. It’s often put in the same category with other seemingly dated designs like wood paneling or  swivel chairs—but now, similar to wooden panels and ’70s-era seating, this trend is new again. With countless cool designs that make patchwork feel fresh, it’s easily one of our favorite ways to bring pattern home. Shop our picks for the best patchy pieces on the market right now; there’s nary a quilt in sight.
