A while ago the great team behind Quilt asked me to become their creative advisor. Excited by their vision I accepted the offer. This is the icon I designed for their iPhone app, together with the in-app "Button Button" you tap to add content.
@Tim Van Damme Gotya. I see screenshots of the actual app, and it makes more sense. I immediately thought a "Thimble" would be my first go-to, but everyone knows what buttons are for sure. :) great job.
Hmm, dribbble becomes not the place where you can get some advices or critics, but the place with only "like button" (just like facebook).
I like this shot in general. Great colors and very simple but nice texture for threads. But I agree with @Martin Sorensen that it looks flat. And even threads could be more realistic and more 3D by adding tiny gradients and shadows and maybe making it not so smooth.
Sure, it's just my vision, and I think it's great when there's place for improvement.
Great icon, design is superb, as usual, Tim.. But not sure I associate a button with quilting. Quilting is more of sewing of patterns together, etc... (sorry, my mom is a major quilter)
Looks really cool.
My 2cents.. Why everything need to be very realistic? is there realism is the only word left in IOS design. Everything has some reason behind it & if its serving the reason. Great.

Curious why you used a button for quilt?
(my Mom was a quilting freak is why I ask)

@Alan Houser @Kyle Decker 2 reasons: A button is a simple shape, and it's very recognizable on your home screen.

Threads lack depth. Overall it looks really flat, shading and gradients could be more complex.

I will have to agree with some dudes above that it feels very flat and unrealistic and doesn't invoke any emotion.
