(Or perhaps it's really: where carpet designs come from?)

I'm at a conference in Anaheim. I noticed that the carpet in the room is the same design of a quilt that someone recently posted.

Made me giggle...

:thumbup: :)

The quilt was done in lovely oranges (laughter). I find quilt patterns every where I look now!! Thanks for sharing.

I actually made a quilt from the design on my friend's bathroom floor.

Yes, the orange one! That is a great quilt!!!

Good designs are timeless and repeated in many forms

That is amazing. Yes they do come from many places.

I've bought dvds after seeing the movie on tv and noticing a floor design or an unusual quilt in it just so that I could study the design. LOL

Interesting..
I was standing in the receiving line at the funeral home on Sun. And said to my Sister.. boy this carpet looks like a quilt..

When I lived in Galveston, Texas and worked for an architect the building across from ours had really unusal building material on it and my desk set in front of a very large glass window. So in the late afternoon the shadow would fall in all kinds of wonderful shadings. From this I designed a quilt, so yes quilts come from all areas and maybe just a little of a twisted mind.
