Yeah, last night I had trouble getting to sleep and realized I still don't have a gift for my DDIL. I made her some stuff for her birthday in early Dec. But anyway, I was trying to think of what I could do without making another trip to LQS when I remembered that she wanted something made out of the silk taffeta left from her wedding gown. Now I have been collecting pieces of silk shantung for several years when all of a sudden it hit me! I could make an awesome twister quilt from the silk pieces with the ivory silk taffeta for the border. Think I can get it done by Christmas?!?!?! Hmmmmm......

Yes. Sometimes I take pictures of tile floors that I think would make into a nice quilt. Never have done it, but enjoy it anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The other night I had a dream about making miles of binding, DH thought I was nuts!

DH has gotten used to me taking pictures of anything that strikes me as a possible piecing, applique or quilting design anywhere we are. He just grins and bears it!! Thank goodness for digital cameras now-days!!

Here's a book with several fractured patterns.... not sure if it's the same as fractals.

When I do my daughter's laundry, I have to restrain myself from cutting up he cotton t-shirts for a quilt. Every time I go to the washroom, I'm reminded that my bathroom tile would make a really great quilt block.

Ok, because I live in a cave (lol) I need to ask...."What is a fractal???"

I am so relieved to read all of these posts. I was on a boat on the lake recently & in the wake of the boat, all I could see was a beaut. Bargello pattern. I even took a pix.
Recently while having a long MRI done for my back, I got through it by designing a quilt in my mind.
So happy I'm not alone in this.
