In preparation for publishing my own patterns in the next few months, I’ve been working with a graphic designer on a new logo. I don’t have access to Adobe Illustrator anymore (I couldn’t justify the cost), so I played around with some ideas for the designer in PowerPoint (yes, PowerPoint!).

Sometimes the best part of playing is the messing around you can do afterwards….

It’s hard to tell what this started out as (you might see the similarity when I unveil my swanky new logo soon!), but I like where it ended up. With a bit of tweaking, it could probably be made into a quilt pattern using half-rectangle triangles, half-square triangles and some strips.
