Many of you have said that you got inspiration for a quilt from a tiled floor.

But has any one else got your inspiration from a quilt to make your floor tile pattern? We put this tile floor into our front hall a couple years ago. I wanted to make it look like a quilt.

The floor tiles in the Texas state Capital building would make a wonderful quilt!! I have pictures of all of them.

I'm a quilter and often use one of my treadle machines to piece my quilt tops. I was watching a British comedy yesterday on Youtube and saw a Singer treadle machine in the background. I kept backing it up to try and see what model it was. :lol: It was a coffin top, couldn't see the machine.

You buy a gift bag because the fairy on the bag would make a good applique template for a quilt... :lol:

I am guilty og all of tha above. Our friends husband buys the nicest, brightest cotton shirts. One day I was over heard saying to him " Can I have your shirt when you through with it? It would be great in a quilt". My husband just shook his head. I get a lot of that.lol
