Ready: Less than a week

I realized that one of my issues with this project is, What if I run out of ideas?

Fat chance.  I realize that now.  I have inspiration and ideas galore.  My difficulty is translating these ideas into actual work, and not just ideas in my head.

I spent the last week near Houston, Texas, and came up with an idea for a series of quilts or quilt-like pictures, perhaps even knitting projects, based on a picture in our motel room.  It was a black and white photograph of a section of flooring (at least, I think it was flooring.  There was also another picture which seemed to both Nick and me to be hung sideways, which appeared to be a picture of some sort of wall.  We finally figured out that it was a photograph, up very close, of the cut end of a log.  Okay, I know what I like, and neither of these pictures would make the cut.  BUT, back to my interrupted thought....).  It could also be a roadway of some sort.  Anyway, random shaped pieces, polygons, separated by thick grout or filler which oozed up between the "blocks".  Ah, a quilt, my brain said.  And quickly came up with three related projects (bark on a tree, small multicolored pea gravel, log cabin walls, in case you are interested) and bingo, there you have four different quilt projects to make, four small, interesting, colorful interpretations of the world around us.

Okay, I won't run out of ideas.  Next roadblock?

Hope all of your roadblocks are low and easily climbed.
