Somebody has posted on the Historical Quilts topic that she has been to Sacramento (where the exhibit was) and loved the tile flooring in the state capital bldg.
You know, I do the same thing; I look at patterns in carpets, tiles, linoleum... and think, hmmm, that would be great for a quilt!
Anybody else?

Some of the best pictures I took in Sacramento were of the floor tiles and the ceilings and wall decorations at the Capitol building. These are the ones I look at more than people! :lol: :lol: Architecture gives me lots of ideas as well. Now, to USE these ideas! :?

I did this just the other day at the Woman's Hospital here in Indianapolis. They have a tile floor (marble I think) that is absolutely amazing. It is all shades of beige and brown and different size squares and rectangles that all interlock. I am going to take my digital camera when I go back and get some pictures of it so I can make a similar quilt. :D

I see quilt stuff everywhere...
I sit and analyze everything that has a pattern to it and break it down.
Could it sewn easily? What color combination? ...
I should carry the camera everywhere to photograph all those bits of inspiration so I have them handy. (Memory defies me sometimes...)
