at least a wallhanging..this was taken last winter at my dad's cousins farm south of here...

I just LOVE this picture!

Very cool!

Oh that is so cool! Pretty neat, too, LOL!

Jan in VA

Nice

Go for it!!! :D :thumbup:

That would make a great quilt

What a shot!

Wow! That kind of ice will surely put the lights out!! Pretty picture though. Why don't you go for it?

i say go for it ,way cool

OMG, that's a new quilt block design. Can't you see it! The dark blades with the spiky white coming off the ends against a sky blue background. It's so full of energy, movement, nature, life. If you don't use it, I will. Just take that top part with the round, frozen blades against the sky, create a quilt block, and build a quilt from that. Make it "on point" to keep the sense of movement and energy flowing -- no static square blocks. Sash it in between the blocks with a fabric that also has some energy, some movement, but in a color that will make the quilt blocks stand out. If you don't want to do it all in that one block, alternate between that, and a quieter nature block, but in a complimentary color pattern, but nothing that will compete with the primary block. When you look at the quilt, your eye should travel from primary block to primary block, along the sashing "highway", and just resting the eye a bit on the alternate blocks, preparing it for the next primary block. Oh, I can see it in my head, and it's beautiful! Can you see what I see?

I agree that should be a quilt.

wauw!!!!! that looks magnificent!!!!

I would like to see the quilt when you get it finish. It would look very awesome.

That is a spectacular photo! Plus, you are so right; it would make an incredible quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Stunning and a quilt would be a winner for sure.

Love windmills - even frozen. Great picture!!

ohhhh... I love it!

It would make a lovely quilt.
Never gave a thought to ice forming on the blades of a windmill. How fascinating

I just love how it captures the sheer force of energy our wind has even in the driving freezing rain....it is like it was frozen in motion...

I am trying to draw/draft it up and I am sure it will be paper pieced with those sharp points coming off the blades...

it clearly says Oklahoma ice storm that is for sure...but I want to focus on the energy of nature!

Can't wait to see it once you have completed it. :D

That's awesome! But I hate those ice storms!!! Several years ago we had 3 days without power due to an ice storm. We had a little electric "fireplace" heater that we put in the kitchen nook and hooked up the generator out on the deck. I hated it when it was time to hook up the refer and unplug the heater!

Teddi and I huddled together next to the heater wrapped in a quilt :-)

Now we have a woodstove. That is not going to happen again here LOL

Wow! would love to see that in a wall hanging!

I would make a stunning quilt. You could have some thread painting fun with this!

what an amazing picture!

WOW! That is an awesome picture!
And yes it should be a quilt ---somehow!

That is such a COOL pictures (pun intended)...:) :)

Beautiful!

Very cool picture.

wow ! cool picture.. but .. oh my.. not ready to remember last winter ! or thoughts of a repeat !

Thanks so much for the post !

Beautiful pic - bet you are glad that day is gone, must have been some real nasty weather. Good luck with the quilt, whole picture wall hanging would be nice. Please post when finished.

Wow - that would be amazing. But, I have to admit, it looks cold! Not looking forward to winter at all and I live in the south!

That would make a neat center for a quilt in my opion.

I'd start off with a sort of a dresdan but I don't know how I'd go from there...But I'd love to be in MacThayer's head!

You can do it!
Just start, and see what you come up with.

What a great photo!

Jackie that picture is awesome. Be sure to show us what you come up with as a quilting project.

How fun! It looks like a giant dandelion.

great picture
