Cutxpaste, I like your shorts, they look good. Very well done!
As for this trend in general, I like it. I think I couldn't pull it off though. I like patchwork when it looks fresh and "light", not when it looks like a traditional grandmother's dress. I don't like it very much when it's done by knitting. . .
I think patchworks look the best in dresses and pants. I'd love to see more examples of people in patchwork outside editorials and runways.
For some reason I am strongly against patchwork skirts. . .
