So I'm quilting away... thinking about my latest focus on triangles... wondering just what am I going to do next... asking myself, just how am I going to make triangles fit together in a fresh and exciting way...

...when I remembered that nature makes triangles fit together all the time! Check out these fractals, and this picture I took of a bizarre type of broccoli I long ago purchased because it was just so inviting:
So I decided to take a walk into my own garden, remembering we too have broccoli. When I got there I noticed not triangles, but there were drops of water to capture my interest:

Soon I was noticing drops of water on everything...

...on leaves...

...on clover...

...and on flowers.

Finally after minutes of allowing my mind to wander, I was brought back to reality by this bee, buzzing from flower to flower, reminding me to GET TO WORK!!

So that's where I'll be today, in my studio, buzzing around.
I can't say my triangle question is answered, but I sure had fun thinking about it!
I hope you too are buzzing with curiosity!

I LOVE that quilt. I am just getting into using all solids and that gives me lots of inspiration.
