reorganizing and looking for inspiration

I delivered quilts and ornaments to the Mennonite Heritage Center for their PA German Folk Art Sale, which starts this coming weekend.  I have time to plan some new quilt projects and do a little clean up in the quilt lab.  I pulled out some stacks of antique quilt tops, blocks, and cutter quilt pieces that I have been hoarding.  As I sorted them, I found lots of inspiration-color combination, blocks I have never tried, etc.  I also came up with a pile of items that will go on my Etsy site, as soon as I get a chance to take some good photos.

 My antique ironing board covered with my hoard.

 The court house steps doll quilt tucked in the pile on the right, inspired some quilts I made a few years ago.

 Hey, is that cheddar I see?  What a suprise that I would be drawn to this late 19th century top.

 This strippy top was inspiration for my quilt that appeared in Quilt Mania.

 Oh, green and light cheddar.  Love it.

 A rainbow.  No kidding this is a strip that was put together for a rainbow trip around the world quilt, late 19th or early 20th century.  I don't have the heart to take it apart and use the fabric, so I will keep it just as it is.

One of the few subdued quilt pieces in the stack.  The fabric is very early, maybe around 1830-1850.  I did not cut this one up(!),  I bought it this way--somebody was going to make a vest out of the old quilt.  Ouch.

Do you see anything that inpsires you?
