Does this sort of display make you want to start a new quilt? If this was my thread collection, I'd take all the spools out of the rack and rearrange them in a more pleasing way. Then I'd take a photo and rearrange them again. Some good music and a cup of tea, and I'd be happy all afternoon. Yes this would be a very expensive peg-board toy. I don't even want to know the price.This photo would make a nice poster for my quilt room. I have a high-resolution image; maybe I'll make some. And it does make me want to start a new quilt. (What doesn't?)

It is an inspiring photo -- but I'd have to crop out those crooked spools!
I don't have a problem with inspiration... just with not enough hours in a day. Can you work on that next, please? :)
Oh yes, color, color and more color! Gotta love it!
Sewer's legos! LOL!
You made me start heater in my sewing room :)
I'm with Colleen, the crooked spools would drive me nuts!
A rainbow of color!
I especially like the pulled out spools.
Yum Yum. Every time I go to Mettler's thread cache I want to put the blues together. I'm sure they have a logical reason for separating them...but hanged if I know what it is.
Mettler 60wt. is my thread of choice for applique, I have a delicious selection :)
Ok...I'm curious - how would you arrange these in a more pleasing way? I do that all the time...and am seriously interested in how you would spend copious amounts of time (that you could be sewing, LOL!) arranging them?????
Nadine -
I'd put the yellows in the middle for starters. Then I'd have to see what hit me. But you bring up a good point, that would take up valueable sewing time!

I'm with Colleen and Asheridan on this, those crooked spools are just itching to be straightened!! Beautiful image though, I could happily look at this for hours!
These quilts are just too too fun! And to think I have been tossing selvages all these years!
