There are quilts that I think about but never make because they are too literal. Not exactly photo-realistic, but lacking in subtlety. That's one of the reason's I enjoyed my recent workshop with Shelley Rhodes who showed me ways to move images and ideas along this continuum.
Now along comes another excellent post from Elizabeth Barton entitled Adding Mystery with more ideas about making things not seem quite so obvious to the viewer. I get the feeling that I'm being nudged in a new direction ....

That WAS a good post - lots of ideas there to think of using. I too tend to the literal or obvious at times but sense my better work is when I veer from that. Nudge nudge.
