Now this has nothing to do with quilting, but isn’t this an amazing photo…..

It was taken by NASA of the recent eclipse.

The Natural World is truly amazing.

NOW….having said that it had nothing to do with quilting….

As I looked at it, wouldn’t it be fun to FMQ those arcs coming off of the center circle. They are such graceful shapes and would be amazing done in various colors of thread.

SEE….I TOLD YOU…..

I have QUILTING on the BRAIN!!

So much for my “non-quilting” photo.

Wouldn’t this be a fun pattern to make???

I can imagine having all of those interlacing “pipes” in various colors. This might be fun for a fabric challenge…..maybe the upcoming MQG fabric challenge??

Earlier this month we were visiting in Dallas, Texas and this sculpture was on a wall in the hotel……

Isn’t it wonderful!!!

AND, wouldn’t it be fun to turn the design into a quilt??

Before I show you today’s inspiration, let me set the stage.

When we were visiting in Chengdu, China, we had a favorite restaurant called “Yummy BBQ”!! When you went in you would order a certain number of “skewers”….

….Meat & Prawns……

….. Vegetables….

….or even individual kernels of corn….

But, the best thing about the meal was this plate of dried chilies that you dipped the skewers into…..

It certainly lived up to it’s name of YUMMY!!

Okay….now to the inspiration part……

This was the door leading into the restaurant…..

….and everytime we visited, I would stare at the door and think about…..QUILT DESIGNS of course!!

I pulled this photo into Procreate and drew the lines…..

Wouldn’t that be fun to make??

You could do it in several panels with each panel in a different color way!!

MAN, I wish that I had time to make all of these inspirations into quilts!!

How about you…..what would you do with this design?

While I was scrolling Facebook the other day, I came upon this photo…..

….and read further to find out that it is a microscopic view of chalk dust!!

Isn’t it amazing that something SO mundane can look so beautiful!!

AND….wouldn’t it be fun to use thread-painting or even thread-lace to turn it into a gorgeous quilt!!!

Maybe I should add it to my To-Do List?

The only problem is that my list already looks like this…..

So….how about it….. would you turn it into a quilt????
