I Call it Pipe Dream
 

Just like the hand held game from Game Boy. Designed by me. Pieced in sections so that I would not get confused. There are over 90 fabrics not counting the light grey background. Total size is 60 x 72 inches. So....what kinds of things inspire you to design your own quilts?

Wow!! I bet that was fun to do. It looks great, you did a wonderful job.

Love your design. Sew neat and love ALL the fabrics! :thumbup:

So much fun!

Mostly my inspiration comes from the fabric I fall in love with and then as I hear conversations about things people like, I try to make quilts that incorporate these things.


Sometimes I just like to play with my scraps!

peace

It's a really great quilt!

Cool design!! Congratulations.

Very cool quilt!

That's really great. Fancy designing it yourself, well done. Looks a good one to utilise those left over strips too. Thanks for sharing and you should be proud. I see you are a "super member" no wonder with work like that.

That is a fabulous design! I love how it came out. When it come to designing my own .. it comes from the fabric. There are some fabrics that I have a picture in my mind of what will look best .. then go from there.

a really great quilt!

Awesome ! Great job!

Holy cow thats fabulous!! You are a genius and I think you should write a pattern for this! Love it! What inspires me ? Every thing. Fabric designs, nature, families favorite colors, etc.

This is wonderful!
So many ideas for recipients come to mind with this design....
architects
plumbers
kids with hot wheels
people with the city water department
those who work underground - miners, sewer workers, tunnelers, underground office workers, even spelunkers
I'm sure there are more, it's just terrific!:D

Very pretty, great colors and grea pattern. Seeing all my fabrics inspires me to try and get them sewn into quilts.

Great quilt!

That is just too cool!! You did a great job, someone who plays games will absolutely love it.

That is totally cool. I can see whey you assembled in sections so not to get confused.

That's so cool! :thumbup:

Great job! I would go looney trying to keep things straight!:)

That is a great quilt!

What a great, creative pattern & quilt! I don't design my patterns... I do good to follow patterns that already written up... LOL!

Thanks for all the great comments! When I first started quilting in 1992, I just mostly cut squares and threw them together. Since then, I have done many different things including machine applique which I love because you can really go wild with cute pictures. This one just came to me one day and I drew it out on graph paper.

I love all the fabs used and your design is great

this is a very interesting quilt.
Did you follow a pattern...?

Yes. I drew it up on graph paper and did it in sections.

Neat quilt! Great job! :)

Love the quilt....simple but creative. And a great way to get rid of some scraps. Great job.

Great idea - I just sat here and raced around the "pipes" with my mouse. Love it.

Great design and flow!

Great job! I love it.

What a fun quilt! Great job!
