Some people walk through a hotel and admire the décor. I stop to photograph the carpet!!
This one offered plenty for a quilter: light squares, little rectangles, and bent shapes scattered across a dark background. Look a little longer, and those seemingly scattered pieces start forming a repeating pattern.
I could imagine playing with these shapes in fabric. The strong contrast makes the design work, while the textured squares suggest a chance to mix prints with solids. Even the dark spaces between the shapes become part of the pattern.
Will this become a quilt? Who knows! For now, it’s another reminder to keep my eyes open—and occasionally pointed down.
What’s the most unexpected place you’ve found quilt inspiration?
