An article in the New York Times online showed Zaha Hadid’s design for a performing arts center for an island in Abu Dhabi. It reminds me of a Bionicle mask or a car brand’s logo. I love the blue and the swooping sort of shape. I also like that a woman designed it. What inspiration!

Finalizing Borders?
This was my original idea. After I put it up on the wall I wasn’t sure.
I then thought about just putting a smallish border on with the white background fabric. The size would be the same as the sashing size (1.75″ finished).
This morning I looked at the blue and white borders again and added the cornerstone (fussy cut to display a flower motif) and decided that I like the combined look. There is something about the blue that finishes the quilt. I also noticed that the blue makes the various blue fabrics in the quilt stand out a bit more.
I have to say that I got such a feeling of joy when I was scrutinizing this quilt and looking at the Pineapple Blocks. I think joy is a good thing and will go with the blue and white layout.
Inspiration from Downtown SF
The end of a fountain near Zeum in Yerba Buena Gardens. I love-love-love the spiral.
I like the colors in this photo.
