Oh!! Of course! Yes! I will try to post something soon. I wanted to start playing today but my day went for cr**. Caught a young hooligan in our truck at 3:30 this morning, so I accomplished approximately nothing the rest of the day.
I hope if you make anything based on it we'll see it as well??

Ah,.. that looks like a fun one! I will keep an eye out for it, so I can flip through it and see if I like the quilts

I agree - would be a very pretty quilt - I see it made with Stonehenge fabrics and could you use your (real) tiles sizes as your pattern templates ? Please do show us what you come up with.

OH yeah! They would make a beautiful quilt. I like the Jeruselem tile road. They look like our cobble stone streets in Philadelphia.. For ideas you can try Marcia Hohns' site. That book is only $3.32 for a used one. I have bought many, many used books and found them to be just fine. I am compiling all the state documentation books and they are from the 80's and 90's.

Your bathroom sink idea brings to mind my own thoughts when I am sitting having my coffee in our sunroom every morning, studying the design in our linoleum floor. I think I can do that. I keep working on it every day, and maybe someday, I'll go right out to my sewing room and work my way through it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Imagine the Moda pattern with landscaping fabric of sandstone! Gorgeous!

OH! Now how did you know the Stonehenge fabrics are some of my favorites? I agree, that would look great! I think I kept a couple of tiles in the basement for "just in case", I'll see if I can dig them out right after I finish the corp taxes.

The only reason I didn't order the book yesterday is I got tired and distracted after the 5th one who wouldn't ship to Canada and gave up. To buy the same used book on the Canadian amazon site is considerably more. I'll go back and try one night while I'm watching tv or something. The Quilter's Cache, yes, I've seen her site. I love it. I don't have the skills yet to make any of it, but I like looking.

I do that too Mostly up until now I'd see FMQ patterns. The piecing one made me so happy because my frame is empty, and I don't usually find that I like the piecing part. So if I have something like this that I want to create.... yay

I think I'm going to start on paper, or bond with EQ. I'll scan some of my fabrics and try to make it as true to life as possible and post when I get something , anything for some input.

Oooh! I like this Looks like I will be able to replace my ugly red first quilt sooner than I thought with all of these ideas

I love your counter! I think the Japanese taupes would really look great in your quilt.

I love your tiled bathroom counter. Even the yellow -I think is adds a warmth demention. anyway if you're still looking why not search for Italian roads or ancient Italian roads to see what kind of name it has and search for that.

Stonehenge by Northcott has fabric that would work perfect.
Sorry, I just rolled back up the screen & see someone else has already suggested this fabric.

ArchaicArcane

JanieH - I've been looking for an excuse to pick up some of those Japanese fabrics! DH will be so pleased. LOL!

starshine - What an excellent idea! I'm going to try to poke around a little that way and see if I can find some other patterns to use.

needles3thread - absolutely nothing wrong with recommending the same as others. I love the look of the Stonehenge line. I think the first Quilt I ever really "liked" and would do exactly as was is the Stonehenge Aphrodite It's the top row, second column on this page: http://www.quilttrendsmag.com/issues...napshots.shtml
