I LOVE Italian tile and once made this quilt based on a photo from a cathedral in Rome…..
I have this booklet that highlights geometric designs from Churches and Cathedrals….
Sadly, it is now out of print!!
BUT, this photo caught my eye….
Wouldn’t it be fun to make a circular quilt using the perspective changes in that center “triangle” shape?
Yet another item to add to my “Someday” list!!

A few weeks ago I passed this bathroom in a restaurant…..
SUCH a fun idea for a sampler quilt…and I really liked the black and white color scheme too!!

I love seeing the “colors of the year”!
Yesterday we looked at the Pantone Color of the Year for 2025…..
Now let’s check out the Kona Color of the Year…..
Isn’t that a rich and wonderful color!!
Here is one of the palette suggestions that Kona makes….
I spent a few minutes looking thru my “Color Cube”….
…and found several other possible palettes…
And it might even pair nicely with the Pantone color….
Okay…..now I have LOTS of inspirations!!

A few weeks ago Pantone released their 2025 Color of the year.
Meet MOCHA MOUSSE…..
Which reminds me that I have a marvelous Mousse recipe that I haven’t made in YEARS…..must get on to that!!
To remind you, last year’s color was…..
….which frankly did nothing to inspire my creativity.
But, this creamy chocolate color has so many options!!
As they say on the website….
For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.
They also have a few suggested color palettes including these two…..
Both of those have some possibilities!!
I am hoping to play with this some more in the future and do a fabric pull from my stash…..
Doesn’t that sound fun!!
