When you go to a public rest room or resturant and see a quilt pattern in the tile floor. Yes I actually thought about the pattern in the tile while you know where.

When you're on the roof of the new school building on a tour, and you make your husbands photograph the masons laying out brickwork in the courtyard because it's such a cool pattern from that vantage point.

When the highlight of your day is reading all these lovely things with a great big smile on your face (guilty as charged)

I have done most of the above. I work with someone who has a zillion scrubs and I fantasize how most of them would look in a quilt. LOL

OMG what a great idea!! I will even check my thrift stores when I do a shop hop. Sometimes I have seen some in solids that would add to the cute prints. I hated the thought of chopping up good clothes until I became addicted to scrap quilts, you can never have enough stash!

Haven't seen this one mentioned, but bet everyone of you folks are guilty. Picking out gift wrap because the patten would look good in a quilt. I did this alot right after the S&W craze took hold.

when you tell one of the engineers his tie would make nice fabric for a quilt.

My girlfriend not only told the real estate agent his tie would look good in a quilt, she cut it right off his neck!!!
She's definitly a quilter.
