Have you ever......

Of course, doesn't everyone?
Also, a fantastic resource is tiled church floors. My absolute
favourite. I've done two, and plan to do more. Church windows, too -
the pane patterns (stained glass too, but I meant the plain glass for
patterns).

thinking it would make a fantastic quilt? I did, several times a day on my
last trip away. Gonna jot that sucker down and quilt it one day!

Come visit with me. You will love my bathroom - it has a great quilt
pattern
floor + you can enjoy good music, fine lighting and can admire my funny
Fitz
and Floyd collection of bathtubs. I've worked hard to make that bathroom
stop looking like something straight from Ramada Inn. Polly

No, but I sat and figured out how to make a block out of the pattern on
an
old
book cover from the library where I work! It would kind of be a block
with
pinwheel blocks on the corners!

It would help if you would stop stealing their towels and displaying them

prominently.

Well, there's a precedent with manhole covers. Start making restroom
floor quilts and document the source of each design and you've got the
makings of a new book.

Sure. And not just bathroom floors. I realized one day that the vinyl
flooring in my kitchen could be a quilt -- all half-square triangles. On
our last trip to Las Vegas, I found myself taking pictures of floors and
other architectural details, thinking they might be an inspiration for a
quilt some day. Also took quite a few pictures at Scotty's Castle in
Death Valley for quilt inspiration.

What to call it, though...

"A Facility for Design"

"In Loo of Creativity"

"Restful Quilts"

"Homage to Porcelain"

...and as a subtitles or blurbs on the back cover...

"Sit and Think About Quilt Design"
