I haven’t done much sketching in awhile. I’m not sure if I’m in a bit of a slump, or if I’ve just been overwhelmed with other stuff – work, life, more work, etc. Probably a bit of both.

So here’s a design I sketched a few weeks ago. I set it aside because I wanted to work on it some more… maybe add a second colour on the other side of those crinkly shapes, maybe work on the angles a little. If I get around to developing it a bit more, I’ll post that too.

To translate this sketch into a quilt, you could combine lots of strips (pieced together at an angle, not unlike last week‘s design) or use triangles, rectangles and squares. The 6 crinkly shapes are made up of multiple copies of a single repeating unit (2 x 4 squares in the sketch), so another approach could be to chain-piece a bunch of them instead.
