When thinking about a new quilt, where do you go to be inspired? Do you
leaf through piles of old magazines or books until something strikes you?
Or do you use websites or other people's webshots? Or do you just think it
up from your own head?

I love browsing through websites with pictures of finished quilts as I find
for me it's a real inspiration. Usually I think "I could never make
something like that" but occasionally I'll find something I think I could
do, and do well.

Gosh, Morag, sometimes inspiration comes from some fabrics, sometimes
from a pattern/magazine/book I see, sometimes from a memory -- and
sometimes I'm stuck! LOL! I have a pretty decent llibrary of quilt books
I can go to, as well as far too many magazines; but I think lately it's
mostly been fabric that "gets" me. I see a fabric I just have to have
and then come up with a way to use it, though sometimes that doesn't
happen for quite a long time. ;) Can you say "stash"?
