I hope you're enjoying peeking in at all of these amazing quilts.  Even if you don't sew, I think they're inspiring.  Looking at these photos I gather ideas for:

  • images/icons to explore
  • color combinations to try 
  • techniques to explore
  • design choices to play with
  • political/social statements to make

How about you?  What's on your mind after looking at these quilts?

Thanks for stopping by!
