There was a wonderful exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival, Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts sponsored by Westminster Fibers/Lifestyle Fabrics Division and featuring the Quilts of Kaffe Fassett, Liza Prior Lucy with quilting by Judy Irish.

This exhibit was wonderful because it gave you great ideas for using large floral prints, striking stripes, and wicked plaids in a way that pleases the eye.  Even "plain" fabric is turned into something spectacular. There are also some great ideas for quilting and embroidery, that you might not have considered. And these quilts show no preference to old or new "styles,"  some are hand-pieced, hand-quilted, and hand-appliqued, and some are machine made all the way.  If these don't get your creativity juices flowing, you aren't trying.
