Ideas needed......

Okay... we have a yearly quilt show here in the Valley. (Actually it is
the Arizona Guild show, covers most of the state, Tucson has it's own
guild and show.....G) Every year there is a theme for the show, and
one of the categories is the theme category. For 2009 the theme is "A
Symphony of Quilts". So I need some ideas for possible quilts. G
I thought about "Unfinished Symphony", but figure that one is just
tooooo obvious. G

So, if you have any ideas, preferable off the wall type ideas please let
me know. There is a size limit on the quilts for this category, so that
may limit some ideas. G


Help me get creative on this, Please.

Thanks in advance...

symphony #? in Bflat.....use colors that atart with B...just a
thought...will try to come up with more as brain starts firing again

This guy does paintings while listening to music and has some
influenced by Messiaen's "Turangalila Symphony":

(You can find bits of Turangalila on YouTube, which helps to show you
how the orchestration works, but the sound doesn't really do it; you
aren't going to get those eight trombones realistically blasting
through your computer speakers).

Beethoven's Fifth- use appliquéd 'fifth' bottles of various alcoholic

You want off the wall---I don't have any idea why this popped into my head
as I read your post----all I can think of is a bug symphony. Praying
mantis, lady bugs, etc. all making music. Weird!!!!!!! I have embroidery
designs of a lady bug band--can you use this?

This reminds me of that Disney (?)cartoon......gals on an island 'blasting
musical notes' on one side to the men on the other side on another island
and the 'kidlets' fall in love. Gals were 'cellos, violins', etc and the
guys were 'tubas, horns', etc.

Butterfly (Thinking it was a black and white cartoon)

Hi Pati,

This would be beyond my ability, but the theme title immediately invoked a
picture of a saxophone with quilts coming out of it (instead of notes).
Okay, maybe that's weird, but you said to get creative. ;-)

involved.
my thot was a harp with bargello design where the strings
are.

ability

My mind is playing the "Ride of the Valkyries" as I read this post,
picturing a Viking clad female sitting down, quilting.

Read Ricky Tims's book "Rhapsody Quilts" -plenty of ideas in there. Better
yet, get him to come do a workshop durning the show.
