When I stayed in the Latin Quarter of Paris in January 2010 and again a few weeks ago, I was fascinated by old doors like these:
I took so many pictures of entrance doors and gates; I wonder what I will do with all of them? I love the dark cherry red color of the doors pictured above.

I can envision a quilt with each block a different doorway. It would be a combination of patchwork , applique and embroidery to recreate all of these doors. The paneling and carved woodworking would be quilted in, the ironwork would be embroidered in black thread... I hope I have enough time someday to make all of the quilts that are in my head!
What else could I do with my doorways?

I enjoyed your Paris posts. I might have to borrow some inspiration for quilting from those door pictures.
Thanks for your kind words on my Thread Talk posts... it's also affirming to hear comments about those posts. :)
Hugs!
These are all lovely -- what a great idea for the quilts! I hope to see Paris very soon. Thank you for taking us there!
