Quilt Ideas
Listed are only the ideas of fabric prints or shapes to
use, no patterns yet, those are easy to find on the web. I just brainstormed
these all up, who knows how long before I actually make one, I encourage
anyone to use and pass on the ideas and alter them any way you are inspired
to. (I only ask that you don't write some book and print these in it)
Alice
in Wonderland - It could be as simple as pale blue with white lace trim.
There are some Alice in Wonderland prints but they're hard to find, you
can just find a blond girl in a blue or pink dress, rabbits, tea cups
& pots, little cakes, chess, top hat, croquet, catterpillar, mushrooms,
pipe/hooka, grass/gardens/forest, mice, cats, cards, keys, flamingo, hedgehog,
watches/clocks, playing card prints, keys in different sizes - you could
get really 3-D with that and actually attach some old keys, or broken
stopwatches, they're super cheap all over at thrift shops
Flower
Fairies - fairy dust or coordinates with flower fairie sqs fairies: there
are a few companies that make fairy prints, the Rose & Hubble CMB
Flower fairies prints are all out of production but you can find tons
and tons for sale on eBay still, dozens of different patterns & coordinates.
Use a fairy dust background (search fairy dust fabric on eBay to see it)
with any matching flower fairy fabric, combinations are endless with this
stuff. Also ivy, trees, flower patterns.
Goth
pets theme for the pet lovers - ferret shapes, bats, scorpions, snakes,
spiders, lizards, horses, siamese & black cats, butterflies, dragonflies,
rats
Graveyard
- solid black with gray/stone print fabric tombstone shapes, or find a
grass print to go with it.
Wine
- bottles, vines, ivy, grapes, wine glasses, wicker baskets, cheese
Absinthe
- green wine bottle shapes on gray or smoky background, silver spoon print
or silver spoon cutouts, green fairy print or cutout.
Sushi/Japanese
- there's a company that makes sushi print fabric, make a solid color
quilt or use a japanese patterned fabric and cut out the sushi pieces
and cut out chopstick shapes, kimonos, tea cups/pots
Vampire
- coffin shapes, wooden stakes, tombstones, crosses, vampire halloween
print cutout, etc.
Boot
stomping - use black vinyl or pleather cutouts of boots, heels, stilettos,
put collar spikes on some of the stompy boots and use laces. Be careful
if you put this on your bed ;-)
Earthy
Wicca theme - use a dark foresty background, or a celestial print would
be great, and cut out pentacles in the fabric of your choice, cauldrons
and other magickal symbols, candle prints too.
Make
your own - There is Iron-on/bondable printable paper that can make possibilities
endless, you can make a quilt with pictures of all your friends or everyone
from your favorite tv show, powerpuff girls, Buffy, Simpsons, egyptian
gods, hindu gods, anime, Oh My Goth!, kama sutra, KMFDM, Bjork, white
wolf clans, nightmare before xmas
