For the last 3 years, I have been posting ideas of how to turn this carpet…..

…into a quilt.
And, last year, I finally decided to give up on it COMPLETELY and started using the fabrics for other projects.
BUT THEN…..of course there is a “BUT THEN”…..
I have recently been thinking more about Manadala designs, and started wondering if I could use the circle layout, but instead of using fabrics, quilt mandalas to represent the circles.
I put the photo into “ProCreate” and started layering the circles….

Then, I took a bullseye design and placed it inside the circles….

A little bit of thinking about which circles would overlap, and this design was born…

So, now I am back to THINKING about the Holiday Inn Carpet quilt.
It is definitely the project that won’t die!!
If you enjoy this blog, please share it with your friends!!!
Thank you…….
Next up, Moroccan Tiles 🙂
That could be it too Stephanie. I actually have a book of Portuguese tile designs that I bought when we in Porto many years ago.
Coincidentally I have a photo of an identical carpet which I took in Texas one year
Was it at the Holiday Inn Express in downtown Houston….next to the civic center? I took it on one of my trips to the International Quilt Festival.
