BJ I have a question. DH and I were in Dublin today wandering around St. Patrick's and Christchurch Cathedrals and we found the most beautiful tiled floors and stained glass windows. The question is this - although we both agreed that the stained glass windows are an architectural feature we were not sure that the tiled floors would be considered the same. Is a tiled floor part of the decor or part of the architecture? I had it in my head that I might do a quilt based on these floor tiles but don't know if this would fit the remit for this challenge. What say you?

You can scroll back a few pages of replies to see it from BJ's mouth/fingers if you like And -- can't wait to see what you come up with!
EDIT: well, I went back and I didn't compare the cobblestone to tiled floor in my question to BJ, and her answer just said "tiled elements as you've described them would definitely be architectural....", so maybe I'd better wait and see what she says on interior tiled floors before I answer for her. Just in case! (but I think they'd count....)
As for the stash-sharing, food-eating, extended sleep-over at Lois' gorgeous home, count me in! I'll bring all my stash, such as it is, and we can all share. Except that most of my stash is project specific, so you'll have to first help me figure out how much fabric I actually need vs. how much I bought (since I bought too much, I'm sure). LOL!

Virtual parties are all the rage these days, I hear! :P :lol:
Tiled floors sound very very very architectural to me, just think of all those ancient mosaics, or the tiled walls in the Turkish mosques....
Whenever I ponder on this challenge I decide I've first got to go through my photo albums from old trips to Greece and to istanbul... :lol:
My new blue fabric for this challenge? Wasn't really planned, but as I have always wanted to make a blue quilt, I've been buying lots of blues this year... But yes, an architectural blue idea is taking shape in my brain... Now to get it out of there before it dissolves :roll:

"Talavera Tile Design Considerations
Sensitivity to the architectural "look" of the installation is an absolute necessity when using Talavara tiles. The scale, mass, and general character of the space or object being enhanced by the use of these tiles will dictate what particular pattern, color, quantity and size of Talavera tile to use so as to maximize the aesthetic impact of this particular architectural element." (color highlight is mine)
We'll probably have to wait until BJ returns from the PA show to hear what she thinks.
By the way, did you see this last year? http://daily-blog/107-just-for-fun/1...oor-janet-cook Impressive!
