As mentioned recently<\/a>, I went to Disneyland Resort with my SILs and nieces. I always get a lot of inspiration when I go there. I wonder if I would be happy wandering around by myself in an empty park just looking at the detail. I notice that I had taken pictures of motifs I had photographed before. I guess I need to get busy and make some quilts based on the inspiration.<\/p>\n

One tile motif would be great for setting the donation blocks the guild already makes. I wouldn’t even have to change the design from 9 patches or 4 patches to 16 patches, the work is already done. I am not sure what I think about the all-beige blocks. I don’t want to piece something that doesn’t need to be pieced. Subtle variations in color or a large plain block? I think large plain blocks would look good with a contrasting – or colorful – background fabric. The pieced design could be set in a column, like I did for the aqua and red Column Donation quilt<\/a>. I am not sure about the half plain blocks on the top and bottom, but they do make the column look stable.<\/p>\n

\"Tomorrowland<\/a>

I still like the lozenge shape. Despite the Mostly Manor Lozenge quilt<\/a>, that shape is not out of my system. I was on the run when I saw these pavers, so took a quick snap and ran on. I think the design would make a great English Paper Piecing pattern.<\/p>\n

I tried to create a design in my journal, but wasn’t completely successful. I thought about sending the photo to Paper Pieces<\/a> and asking them to send back the relevant shapes that fit together, but I haven’t. I have the half hexie<\/a> project and the papers for La Passacagalia<\/a>, so I don’t want to start something else. I thought about, with other EPP designs, just making one block and a pillow cover. This design doesn’t lend itself to that sort of solution.<\/p>\n

\"Disneyland<\/a>

Despite the yucky green, the tile design has potential. I like the combination of larger and smaller squares. I also like the subtle sashing design. Using small enough squares would make this design a great stash busting pattern.<\/p>\n

In looking at it carefully, for piecing clues, I am not sure if there is a specific block one could repeat. there are definitely 4 patches and a squashed 3×4 motif. This design would be relatively easy to work up in EQ8.<\/p>\n

Do you look at floor and wall tile for quilt inspiration?<\/p>\n
