I've noticed a theme in my flickr "favorites".

For those who don't use the photo sharing website flickr, "favorites" is a feature where you can mark and save other flickr members photos within your profile. So while looking through my "favorites", I noticed that I'm drawn to photos of fabric hanging on clotheslines. Here are a few of my favorites, among the "favorites":

The "Wheezy Sanchez" quilt is inspired from clothes and towels on a line from a camping trip. you can see it on my blog here :

the quilt is made from recycled clothing much like those made by the Gee's Bend quilters though was not directly inspired by their creations.
I am so glad you guys enjoyed it! thanks for sharing it with others.

Nice title- and post. There is something appealing about fabric on clotheslines, especially with the weather getting warmer. It's very springy.

I just love that quilt photo'd by Wheezy Sanchez, that's got to be a Gee's Bend or Bend-inspired quilt!
