Fabric Design Olympics: Germany Takes Gold, Australia Silver, and Team USA Bronze

Would that fabric design were indeed an Olympic event! In our own competition to celebrate the spirit of the games, we've still managed to assemble an impressively international podium. If this week's contest had been an Olympic event, the gold would have gone to Germany (Tabula Rosi), silver to Australia (cjldesigns) and bronze to team USA (bzbdesigner). Check out the top ten Olympic-inspired fabric designs.
