When I lived up north I cut up my daughter's ski jacket for one small diamond of fabric when I ran out of a certain shade of pink when 99% of the quilt top was pieced. Winter was over and it would have been too small for her next year anyway... and so what that it was a London Fog? The color was a PERFECT match! LOL.

She said she gets more food if he likes the quilt more!!!

When you are doing the trip of a lifetime, get off plane in Israel, and are stopped dead in your tracks by mosaic floor that has been excavated/displayed that would make a great applique and pieced project. (still on the "to-do list")!!

[quote=mimom]or when sitting on the toilet staring at the tile on the floor and designing a new quilt block.[/quote

That is me...lol. I did a quilt based on the tile pattern in a restaurant bathroon. I keep a pad and pen in my purse and made a quick sketch standing at the sink and now it is a pattern I will do again and again. So...I guess I am a quilt addict too..

You are a quilt-a-holic when......You are takeing out
the trash at the end of school and you discover your
teacher has thrown away yards of new fabric. One piece
became a valance for our church restroom. It was reallllly
nice stuff. Brenda from Wadesville In

When taking a trip by car, you don't look for the rest stops, but the fabric/quilt stores.
