Where Do You Find Ideas for Quilts?
#1
I am in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the 2010 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. This morning as 300+ balloons were launched I not only enjoyed the color combinations, but also spent my time thinking how the patterns could be translated into quilts. Just an added bonus to the Fiesta. What gives you ideas for quilt patterns?

Remember that movie "I see dead people" My new saying is I" see quilt blocks." Every where I look i see colors shapes and the possiblity of a block or quilt. I love how quilting has taking my creativity to a whole new level.

Everywhere...lol. My daughter was playing a game on facebook and she was decorating the floor and it was so pretty, I drew it on paper and colored it in with my son's crayons and stuck it in my "someday I will make all this" folder.

Have you seen David Taylor's quilt "Up, Up and Away?"
He must have been inspired by a similar sight. Check this out:

Edieclay the hot air balloons would make a fantastic colored quilt,
maybe Walmart still has that fabric??!
As for patterns, like someone said , look around and you can find them, I couldn't believe it but like someone wearing a colorful shirt, or a skirt, at church theres a design on the carpet that is awesome, and in the hallway on the wall theres a design for triangles, connected, I copied that but haven't tried my hand at making yet. online there are many patterns, and can find in books too.
enjoy!
