Design craving: Hudson Bay blankets

Maybe it's because it was Canada Day this week or maybe it's because I'm up north in cottage country, but I was feeling inspired by a Hudson Bay blanket that I saw in an antique market yesterday and wanted to post a few images of the iconic Canadian design that remains as popular around the world today as it was in 1780.
