Since it is spring here, and the weather was lovely today, I went out with my camera to find inspiration for my next quilt (want to make something with flowers and feather/spiral motifs).
I got far more than I bargained for, LOL! There's soooo much out there for inspiration! I already posted a few flower pics in CindyB's thread, but here's a few others (well, more than a few, actually, LOL) of my inspirational motifs... I love both the colors and the shapes, and I can see them all used in various ways in quilts

Spirals and feather inspiration from above church door:

Spiral on wall:

Top of iron gate:

Both feathers and flowers:

Old wooden door:

Iron work:

Bottom of old lamp post:

Another iron gate:

Another old door:

Old fence:

Yet another old door (how's this for a border design?):

Pillar outside an old hotel (I can see this as a quilt block!):

And a lot more quilt blocks just waiting to be made:

All of these various "brick works" could be strip pieced, LOL:

And, how's this (entrance to the cathedral) for a cool block - and cool sashing!!!

Sorry for posting so many pics, but I can assure you I really tried to be restrained... (There's plenty more where these came from, LOL!) I just got so carried away with all of today's inspiration

So, now it is your turn! Would love to see your inspirational pics!
