I went to a quilt-show once....ages ago it seems. And there were a lot of beautiful quilts there, I am sure. But for some reason, I only remember one quilt, this was before digital cameras, so I don't have an awful lot af pictures!
The quilt was called manhole-cover, and apparently, the quilter had taken pictures of these for years, and had finally decided to use one of the designs in a quilt.
I thought it was beautiful, and a fun idea.... I took these photos today, wouldn't these designs make some fun quilts?
What a great idea. I especially like the last picture. Wouldn't that make a fun quilt with the little fish on it? Thanks again for your "tours" I loved your previous post with the tower bookstore.
ReplyDeleteHow clever! and wow.. I've never seen manholes like that!! what a work of art.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, the manhole covers look nothing like that where I live! LOL
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous!
What a brilliant idea - manhole cover art!
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking at manhole covers wherever I go now! These are all lovely, I especially like the last one with the fishes.
