I used to have a dresser with ironwork around the mirror that when I looked at it I thought of how it would look as a hand quilting design in a quilt. Got rid of it though.

I was watching the NOVA series on PBS this week and they had an updated report on Fractals, along with some history. It was a fascinating program (as usual).

Anyone heard of a fractal quilt pattern?
Wow, I just googled 'fractal quilts'---the result is amazing!

I got at least three quilt patterns - two from tile floors and one from a houndstooth check sweater. This is one of DH's tiny piece quilts.

Some of them remind me of crop circles

I think I saw a quilting program, maybe Simply Quilts, where that very subject was discused as related to quilting. I think the guest was a lady who did Kalidoscope quilts. I think.

I don't dream of quilts, yet anyway, but I think I saw a lady at Walmart last week that does. She had on a pair of pants made of about 4" squares...I'm sure I stared!
