 I suppose an alphabet blanket on my bed would be overkill, even for me, but I do like the “&” in the detail to the left of an Alphabet Quilt made from Alexander Girard’s alphabet. Girard is a “mid-century” designer who specialized in playful patterns and bright colors and was head of Herman Miller’s textile division in the 1950s. House Industries has licensed many of his designs, and you can see them here. There’s a book available too (Alexander Girard Designs for Herman Miller) that has photos of all his textile & furniture work.
