How A Green Quilt Is Like Lady Gaga

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 noticed that they both share a number of similarities. You possibly won't agree with me, however here's what I noticed:

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 a uncountable 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 kind 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 doesn't even have to try. Due to its unusual association with nature, these quilts stick out even when surrounded by a lot of other quilts.

Perhaps Lady Gaga should use a green quilt in her next experimental fashion piece. They seem well suited to one another.
