Very rarely do I even know where I saw the multitude of quilts that have inspired what I eventually come up with. Often there is very little actual similarity between my quilt and the ones I saw in various places. For example my around the world in muted greens was actually inspired by a magazine cover that was shaded bright rainbow colors lined in between with black. But that's where I got the idea of gradation from dark to light and back again. If I found that designers quilt and put it on as my inspiration I might really confuse a lot of people!
