Inspiration That's Not A Quilt

In thinking about simple shapes and quilts I've been saving pictures.

Of things like crocheted afghans from Israel sold on eBay.



Silk Scarves by Hermes and Pucci



And hooked rugs:

This one by an unknown maker

    Have to echo the tile-inspiration too! I send alot of time looking at flooring lol.

    But never ever have realized hooked rugs are a great source of ideas too. Barbara, this is why you are the author, historian etc. YOU see these designs in everything. Thank you for sharing with us.
