This past weeked, it hit in the furniture store...
...and "Dovetail" was the result.
I used test fabric to see how if it would turn out the way I thought it would, and lo and behold, it did! I'm looking forward to working this up in Kona solids (and maybe hand quilting?), which I think would be appropriate for the design.
A 20-minute quilt top (literally -- it took me longer to find the piece of cardboard to cut the template than it did to piece the whole thing together) inspired by an unlikely source.
How fun is that?

What a good eye you have, Kate! That would make a pretty border, too.
Pretty cool! And I was thinking it would make a neat quilt back.....
That is so wonderfully creative!
What a great idea! Very graphic. You have an artist's "eye" for design!
It's a great idea. I could have looked at the drawer forever and not seen the possibility.
Love the simplicity - and the name! Looking forward to your quilting interp on it.
Lovely! In Kona solids, very striking. If you are going to hand quilt it, may I suggest using some pearl/floss and make some long hand stitches across the top. That always looks good with modern pieces.
Really ... love it!
Hugs & stitches,
Jennifer
Very, very cool! I love your inspiration and the beautiful, bold result!!
Fantastic!
ha! i've had a very similar idea based on the foam mats that sit under my weight bench in my basement. i LOVE this so much.
