Surprise Find
 

Look what I found! I bought some Kleenex at a big box store today and it included these quilt pattern boxes!

LOL..that's really funny how we can spot quilting designs everywhere we go....I do that when i enter bathrooms with ceramic tile (i always look a quilting pattern in them ;-)

LOL, bathroom floors are fun to look at.

heheh...right! Every year when i go to Jordan and when I am at my mom's house, i can't stop trying to figure out how to make the block of her tiles (i tend to stay long in that bathroom for this reason...lol) and i always think it needs a Y seam :-)

I always liked the quilt pattern in the tile floor of the bathroom where I used to work. It was simple rectangles, paired up in twos to make a square, then each square was turned so they alternated directions (horizontal-vertical). I always thought I'd make a quilt like it. Never did, but I still remember it.

Cute boxes, no need for covers.

I need to replenish my supply...we all have had the sniffles.....will look for these cute boxes!

yep, even on note pads at office supply stores. Nice!

Has anyone noticed the wall behind Drew Carey on The Price is Right is a quilt pattern?

I know. I saw a small tissue box that had one.

I haven't seen those Kleenex boxes in the store as of yet. When the Mormons opened their temple in San Diego to the public, I saw a really neat quilt pattern on the floor done in tile but knew I couldn't take a picture.

I have taken pictures of floors before to use as a pattern. On the other side, my sister just bought a tile saw.......... got me wondering if I could do a mariners compass in tile in my bathroom. lol

A local church has wonderful exposed bricks which I think would make a lovely quilt pattern.

My husband had port put in 18 months ago and while I sat and waited for Dr. I drew the tile pattern on floor in three shades of peach and three of turq. rectangles. Haven't done anything with it but found it the other day

LOL I find myself seeing quilt patterns every where I go and I try to figure out which ones they are ! LOL

I knew I was normal LOL I keep a note book in my purse and I will draw out the tile patterns in public buildings. The quilt I made for my Dad is from the restroom floor from the old Woolworth store in downtown Toledo. I love visiting old courthouses and post offices..Those old marble floors and walls are beautiful and great inspiration

I love it!! And I love how our eyes are trained to spot things!! :)

That's really cool, maybe you should make something to match., or not; but quilting designs are getting much more prevalent it seems to me, an that's a good thing

I really chuckled to read what everybody's saying about seeing potential quilt patterns everywhere. I thought I was the only one who did this, so I've kept it pretty quiet - until I was recently caught in a restroom sketching a floor pattern in my ever-present notebook. The lady knew at once what I was doing (she was a quilter, too, natch), and thought it was so funny. Not only that, but I find myself scoping out silk ties, so guys! watch your ties! <G> (and if you have any you're getting rid of, send 'em to me, please.) Actually - all joking aside - I find that quilting has sharpened my math skills (algebra is a lost language to me, but geometry makes sense)... but then I'll also tell you in all seriousness that chocolate is a vegetable. <G> So eat your veggies!

Very cute! I will have to see if I can find some.

Glad to see they are on board :-)

oh cool I need to buy some in different patterns

I recently saw a beautiful floor with a quilt pattern it it...took some pics...

I took my granddaughter to New York City for a week, and the hotel had a lobby with a quilt pattern floor. I took lots of photos and can't wait to make it!
