Your opinion please!

Does this look like a quilt to you? It does to me, I see quilts everywhere!  Sounds like the boy who said "I see dead people" from The Sixth Sense...for me it's quilts; but I'd rather see quilts, than you know - dead people.  One time Ashlee and I were someplace, and we saw an interesting gridwork on a wall.  I said "that could be a quilt", and she said "it is, and it's called Foreign Currency".  I can't help myself, every interesting grid or geometric shape I see, I want to turn into a quilt.  So along with my desire to cut out the tiniest snippet of cool fabric - generally from clothing that people are wearing (I don't actually cut up people's clothing), to seeing quilts everywhere - someone could conclude that I am just a little sick...but I say I am not sick, I say "I, AM A QUILTER!!!"

The cover art was created by designer EE Storey, the art director for Tegan and Sara

This definitely looks like a quilt to me. I have the same problem--floor tile patterns, interesting windows, wrought iron grates--I see quilts everywhere! I think it comes with the territory.

I'd be more surprised if you told me it WASN'T! I know I've seen quilts made like that. ;-)

It does look like quilt to me, but one made of paper strips. Must have something to do with my graphic design distortion....
I don’t necessarily see quilts but often I see and even hear grids in things like pavements, buildings, landscapes, plants, clothes, music, there’s so much inspiration!

Haha, yes! I recently took this photo of a stained glass window in Germany, because I thought it looked like a quilt to me. :) My husband thought it looked like pixels to him.

Yes, it does look like a quilt. I do the same thing. I think it goes with the territory. Every time I see some interesting image my mind goes: "hmm, now how could I translate this intto fabric"!

You're right...it definately looks like a quilt. Quilt patterns are everywhere...you just have to look!

[jacquie]

yes...everywhere...quilts are everywhere. my boys love tegan and sara and just showed me some album art....knew i would be making a quilt from it...i sat in the car sketching a design in the brick wall on the side of a building the other day as my impatient teen waited to put the car in gear...yup, everywhere!

A couple of months back while adding music to the new ipod, I came across this very album cover(I also love Death Cab for a Cutie)
"Hey! Rachel!(my daughter) "don't you think this would make a great quilt?" "Oh yeah! Bookmark it!"
So I did!

Quilts are everywhere! I see them too...I'm glad I don't see dead people.
