Following on from the past two weeks, I’m still exploring this idea of interspersing randomly placed shapes amidst an ordered pattern.

Here, the black shapes are evenly spaced apart, and the pink shapes are crowded in-between, wherever they might fit (without touching other pink shapes).

This design could be made into a quilt pattern using half-square triangles (3 per shape) and squares (for the background areas with no shapes). I always design with solids in mind, but you could just as easily use patterned fabrics – in fact, it’d be another way to differentiate the two groups of shapes.
