Whence your inspiration?

Whence your inspiration?
I heard an interesting conversation the other day from someone who saw a tile roof and thought it would make a good quilt pattern. I saw this tile somewhere quite a while ago and thought it would make a great appliqué square, but I haven't tackled it yet. I was curious about what some others of you might have seen and/or used.

Here is one I have done. We were in Guatemala on a mission trip and walked to breakfast every day over this concrete sidewalk. Quilter that I am, I thought that looked like a good quilt pattern and took the picture. I then used it as a pattern for a quilt to give to our team leader. The fabrics are from Guatemala. They were a bear to work with, stretchy and ravel-y. But I love the colors. The center appliqué square was the team logo on our T-shirts.

I find it all over.. and I too look at tiles and building fronts for inspiration. I did a picture once with all my tiny scraps based on a card I had purchased a painting that was a bit impressionistic. I love all the Moroccan tiles I see and buildings oh boy wouldn't they make great quilts..
