I Can't Believe It's Ikat!

I might be a little late with this trendspotting- but I thought that this Ikat craze may go away after a while. It seems like I was way wrong. Ikat is still going strong and is popping up in some new places. 


Ikat is an ancient Eastern technique in textile design- so technically it's not anything new. But it is being used in new and unique ways; both in color and use. 


What first caught my eye and spurred this post is the new Beacon Hill Ikat Outdoor fabric collection. Makes me ready for summer! Wouldn't these fabrics be fun for outdoor pillows? Or on a lounge chair on the patio?
