Inspired by Plates

We were at the local outlet mall the other day buying school clothes for the boys.  My mom wanted to go into the Corelle outlet and here's what I found while she was busy with her purchase:

I love the orange flower on this plate.  I can see it as an applique design or as a quilting pattern.

This plate is beautiful.  I love the color scheme with all the varying shades of blue: blue-green, aqua, royal blue.  I also find it interesting because the inside circle has 6-fold symmetry and the outer border has 8-fold symmetry,  This juxtaposition is interesting.  I can see this as an applique pattern or quilting design too.

You really never know where inspiration is going to strike.
