Flickenteppich

A "Flickenteppich," or patchwork carpet, is a type of textile made from small, differently colored fabric scraps sewn together to create a larger surface. This technique results in a multicolored, textured appearance with an irregular, often vibrant pattern. Historically, it was a practical way to reuse leftover fabric, making the most of available materials. While it may seem informal, several traditional and artistic textile crafts incorporate this approach, celebrating creativity through the diverse integration of various fabric pieces into a cohesive design.
