How Lady Gaga Inspired My Green Quilt

By Jane Green


The other day, I was messing with designs for a quilt and more specifically taking a look at working with a green quilt. While working on this, a music clip featuring Lady Gaga came on the telly.

While watching the clip, I realized that they share many similarities. You might not agree with me, so here goes:

Unusual

Lady Gaga is an unorthodox kind of pop star. She is noted just as much for her 'out there' fasion as she is for her music. If you're in any way familiar with her, you'll no doubt have an image in your head of some extreme fashion item she has worn during the past.

In the same way, a green quilt is an unorthodox one too. It is one of the last colors to be used for quilting and when it is, it'll actually stand out from your other quilts. Due to this, it is always a talking topic of any quilters collection.

Experimental

Back to her fashion sense, the pop princess has worn an endless number of experimental fashion pieces. On some occasions, she has actually worn clothing that she has claimed was 'art '. Either way, each time she appears it's with a new, experimental type of clothing.

In a similar way, a green quilt is experimental also. Every time someone approaches one of these, it's always a risk that there is no guarantee that it will turn out right, no safety zone of proven colors. It really is a foray into the unknown, an experiment in itself.

Attention Getting

Whether it is her music or her fashion, Lady Gaga has mastered the art of 'attention grabbing'.

This is the same for a green quilt, it does not have to try. Due to its peculiar association with nature, these quilts stand out even if surrounded by lots of other quilts.

Maybe Lady Gaga should incorporate a green quilt in her next experimental fashion piece. They both appear well suited to each other.
