    *giggles* .... it would sure be conversational!

    I'd include a photo of Mickey!

    Yes, perhaps a time to edit the comments?

(I was a bit concerned because I thought if anyone heard the phone click they must have wondered what the heck I was doing. But that was easier than explaining to others why I was taking pictures of the floor with a bunch of people watching.) So for me I would have the write: Inspired by the tile patter on the floor of the bathroom in Disneyland on April 28, 2016."
    That's hilarious!!! I would be one of the people wondering what the heck you were taking a picture of in the stall next to mine! But I have found a lot of inspiration from bathroom floors!

    No need to give mention when this design has been around for thousands of years. It is your quilt, your label. You can create a memory label or just a date name and design used....up to you.

    I agree with this. Good luck with your quilt. I hope you will share when you have it completed.

    That is my thought also, we get inspiration from everything around us.

    I was thinking of how funny "inspired by the tile SPATTER - - - -" might have been.

    I just got back from touring Spain, and while at the Alhambra, I took many photos of all the different tiles there, so I could come home and maybe make a quilt from one of the tiles I photographed. Some were very intricate, but some looked possible to do, even for me. My husband wondered why I took such closeups of the tiles. They were beautiful and colorful.

    I agree too with luvspaper. I am anxious to see your design and what you name it!

    My longarm group does a challenge every year.
    Last year our challenge was defined with these requirements:
    1) No piecing
    2) 40" square
    3) 100% cotton or Dupioni silk

    Other than that, sky's the limit.

    My inspiration came from the Cosmati Pavement in the Westminster Abbey (it was restored just shortly prior to Prince William's marriage to Kate Middleton - they stood on it for their ceremony).
    Anyway, I stumbled across it, downloaded LOTS of pictures, then drew out my design. It's not exactly the same, but whenever someone asks, I tell them my source of inspiration.

    Here's the quilt:
