ABC Wednesday's Round 3 letter of the week is the ever illusive 'Q'.
I choose quilt-ing in its natural form. One of the best examples of Nature's needlework are certain varieties of Hostas.
Not to be outdone by Terra firma, the sky can just as easily remind me of quilt batting on any given day. I always snap these skies because of the unique shape of the cloud clusters and the cottony puffs.
The letter Q is a difficult one so it would be worth a visit to Mrs Nesbitt's site here to see the clever uses of Q from around the globe.Happy Wednesday

What an excellent interpretation.
I am tardy today, feeling fuzzy, not to say wrecked.
The wonders of nature surpass our artwork. And that's what you proved with your photos! Excellent! Thanks for sharing and drawing our attention to nature's quiltwork.
Loved the idea for Q!!!
Brilliant indeed!!!!
Original illustrations for Q

I can understand why "q" would be difficult. I've never seen a more beautiful quilt than the one you posted though :)
truly an original interpretation of the word quilt! This is great.
I can subscribe to that last quotation...
What a great post.....
That was a greate post for the Q. Have a nice day:)
What a lovely take not only on the letter "Q" but on the word "Quilt". It takes your discerning and imaginative eye to see the quilts that are gifts of nature.
In answer to your question, I am not only still rising high after last Tuesday, the tune that has usurped my perpetual humming is "America the Beautiful".
I think I posted on some comment, "Mind your Ps and Qs". Great minds, etc.

Imaginative use of Qs, Noni! Haven't noticed that variety of hostas before, but they are lovely, as are the quilted skies and the nod to quiet wonders.
Very very good! It's amazing what you can see in nature, isn't it? :)
Oh, how lovely! What a brilliant idea for Q! Thanks for sharing this beauty this week!

Aloha from under Hawaiian Skies-
Beautiful photos and a creative way to look at quilting! I'm going to look at my hostas from a new perspective now, though I'm going to have to wait until spring:)
Thanks for visiting my blog; now I understand your blog name!
I would love to learn to quilt but fear I don't have the patience. I invite you to come take a ride on my quad into the Powell River, BC, back country. - Margy

I love your creativity in natural 'q'uilting. I couldn't think of a 'q' this week. I am NOT very creative or I would have joined in. Loved your photos.
