If you aren't already looking forward to the skating, skiing, and sledding of the Winter Olympics , here is something to whet your appetite. The Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. in 2014 is going to look like this:

The Sochi Olympic Committee has chosen the patchwork quilt, based on traditional Russian quilting, as the brand for the games. See much more here.

Oops. Forgot to thank my nonquilting friend Vic for bringing this site to my attention.

And if you're still reading this uncharacteristically short post, thanks for the company.
