HOME QUILT Pattern Prompts:

Consider this a suggestion list for your HOME quilt sampler. Each prompt is an idea to consider for each added component of your quilt top. Feel free to respond to one part of each prompt or the whole thing. Pick and choose and expand on what you find the most generative. For any of the prompts keep in mind what identifiable icons you may be able to utilize and repeat to express an idea.
