Quilts Inspiring Architecture

It’s finally a pretty day and I’m spending it outside working on my new patio in the front yard. Here’s how it’s looking so far:

Working on the pattern in the stone, I was reminded by a quilt I pieced 3 years ago that I still haven’t gotten around to quilting yet:

Pulling out this top off the shelf made me remember the fun beach trip we were on when I purchased the fabric and the lazy, summer afternoons I spent cutting and piecing it. I wanted something a little different with this quilt, not the usual grid pattern, but instead a pattern like bricks stacked together.

So I guess that was the perfect inspiration for my patio! Architecture inspiring a quilt and a quilt then inspiring architecture!

Let’s go quilt,
