I like to look at quilts like this, and try to decide which square is the block that's being repeated.
A beautiful applique quilt with some felt pieces, laces and trims.
A glimpse of a tumbling blocks quilt, all hand pieced and hand quilted. The interesting thing here was that the little blocks made a different pattern in shadow and in sunshine!
A beautifully done sampler.
This quilt was a show-stopper for me!
10,210 pieces, Read all about it!
I would actually like to make this. It would be exciting to see it come together.
I admire the diamond star and medallion quilts. I will probably never attempt one.
Beautifully done in traditional prints.
A traditional block but done BIG!I wish I had a better photo of this one, it deserves a lot of attention! Traditional blocks are overlaid with applique reminiscent of the block's names.
I think this is a variation of the Drunkard's Path quilt block, at least it uses the pieces. Here it looks like a tropical flower or a pinwheel.
And now for some quilts that I took pictures of just for the inspiration:
This is simply half-square triangles. How hard could it be?
A case where the camera changed the quilt for me. In person, I hardly saw those gray squares, I only saw the "movement" of the red & white paths. When looking through the phone camera, the gray squares suddenly became prominent!
Hexagon flower border... a good idea for an update of Grandmother's Flower Garden.
This should have been in my "brights" post, but I put it here with the other hexagon quilt as ideas for hexagons. I have been doing English paper piecing for a year or so, but only sewing a few hexagons every other week!

Baskets with log-cabin-like fillings, and a delicate border. A very striking quilt for contrast and color.
Here's an idea for your old linens.
This quilt is not my type, but it gave me an idea for another way to use crazy quilt blocks: Impressionism.
This isn't quite a crazy quilt but it is a way to use up scraps, is this called crumb squares? I suppose if you are a dedicated quilter you have scraps with straight edges, whereas we dressmakers always end up with odd shapes better used in the previous style. I like these colors together.
One more post to come: scenes from around the town.
