I like to applique & any shape will do. While watching HSN or QVC when they have hanging Oriental or other type rugs, or other channels, I look for quilts or anything with patterns. Hate trying to take a nap in the daytime & all I can do is look at the ceiling of a tiled room & count the # of tiles, esp if there are holes or patterns & think how many rows I can get out of a yard of fabric going up or down, it gets crazy. While driving by yards with lots of colorful flowers, I see abstract designs & think painting or quilts. Colors & designs are everywhere, esp if you take the time to look. I enjoy rows & rows of flowers, esp when they are at an angle to me, think that would be a great design for quilt patterns or fabric. Endless..........
