I'm doing something a little differently today. Instead of finding inanimate objects or colors or whatever, I've pulled some of my favorite art quilts and am pairing them with everyday quilts--those not made to be viewed as art. Everyday quilts here means the maker was making them to be used in whatever capacity on a daily basis.

Beginning with this beautiful little aqua art quilt,
|
 |
one might be inspired
by the color,
|
 |
or by the color and block.
|
 |
These smart neutral
quilts might inspire |
 |
| this winter landscape |
 |
or this birch tree quilt
with a lovely blue sky. |
 |
A quilt depicting one person
walking in the rain |
 |
could easily inspire
a quilt telling this story |
 |
| or a handsome blue-eyed stranger. |
 |
A sunset might inspire
a number of sunsets. |
 |
And finally, an architectural
quilt like this one |
 |
| might inspire another art quilt! |
But then any quilt, art or otherwise, might inspire an art quilt, just as any quilt might inspire an everyday, utilitarian quilt. Who knew?
