are you a visual person?

Hi Barbara, until recently I would have said - yes I am a visual person, no picture and I can't see the end result so I would pass it by.
However yesterday I decided to experiment and made 2 table mats to put in a hamper for Christmas presents. As the two mats were sitting there partially completed while I decided what to use/do next I suddenly thought "this is making a nice pattern, if I leave this centre here square it will make a great looking quilt block" .
So I promptly phoned my LQS (an hour away) and asked her to save me what was left on the rolls of sale fabric that I had bought the day before so I could buy it next week when I go down there.
Now I am hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew! :roll:
Maybe1day

My thought: " A picture is worth a thousand words." I think this is the reason I have a very hard time of visually seeing a project. Looking at material....I see material. I have friends that say can't you see the sky, flowers, etc in that material???? My learning desire is to make art quilts, but without a picture to go by. No way.

funny that you should bring this up..
We just got back from dinner at a Chinese restrurant and this was my fortune----
"You are more intuitive than logical. You often learn better by seeing and doing than by theorizing first. "
I like the pictures, it really helps to see where I am going.
