Imagine, if you will, that you were in a foreign country and you stumbled upon a candy shop with 1000 types of candy and chocolate, sitting in big glass jars. <\/p>\n

Imagine that you were so far away from home that you could order *anything* from that candystore, all mixed together in an insanely wild mashup of flavors and styles…and nobody would know but you. <\/p>\n

Imagine that you didn't have to justify your choice to *anyone* at all. You could order all the things that piqued your interest, and walk out of the store with a big lovely mess in a brown paper bag. What would you do?<\/p>\n

Tonight I attended a music festival<\/a> with a group who did just that – and we all walked out with a head full of stars. We all carried home our invisible bags full of inspirational fireworks. It really just blew our mind – who would ever think to mix HipHop with Haydn???<\/p>\n

As I listened to Stravinsky<\/a>, Hungarian Rhapsody<\/a>, and Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem "I Will Survive"<\/a> in a brilliant improvised mashup, I started envisioning quilt genre mashups in my head. <\/p>\n

Baltimore Album mixed with Hawaiian Quilting?<\/p>\n

Trapunto mixed with Rag Quilting?<\/p>\n

A Lone Star morphing with Bargello?<\/p>\n

A Modern Quilt made with solids…and overripe watercolor florals?<\/p>\n

Floral appliques made with yarn-dyed plaids?
(Actually – I've seen this at the Tokyo Quilt Fest)<\/p>\n

String Piecing mixed with multi-layered tangled Celtic Knots?<\/p>\n

Why Not?…or perhaps, Why Knot?<\/p>\n

p.s. this photo was taken in a Dublin candy shop. The shopgirl had the biggest fake eyelashes I've ever seen in person. Somehow she looked just perfect with the hundreds of jars of colorful candy.<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
