You know, I think you're probably right. I think you probably would like sewing, and quilting. You seem to have that sort of mind -- kinda intuitive, curious, and focussed.

The colors must match exactly to blend. Then seen from a distance, it would look like a smooth picture. It should only take about 75 years to make ONE!That's actually a specific technique that a couple of art quilters have done. (I'm not an art quilter -- I'm a "we need something to cover the bed with" quilter.) I don't know what to suggest googling, but there are some great pictures out there of that sort of art quilt.
Maybe you should start trying...
