Love the elevator floor! I can definitely see it as a quilt - done in batiks of course.

Picture does not show wall tile very well. The 4" wall blocks are various shades of almond tone on tone - some darker than others with a few strategically placed desinger floral tiles. I made a 1/2 tile border all around the outer edges & island with the 13" floor tiles.

Can we see a picture? Pretty please!!!

That is so funny. I don't think it's strange at all. I do it all the time.

I do men's shirts, I have request two of my VP's plaid shirt for when I retire in a couple of years.

Another place for quilt layout is your favorite crossword puzzle.

I've got this crossword that I've been saving for years.

That almost looks like a D9P :)

I can one up you - when we went to London, I took a picture of the (really not very clean) upholstery on the underground car seat because it would make an interesting quilt block...
