I hope you’re all hanging in there, wherever you are in the world and however much coronavirus has disrupted your life and livelihood.

This week’s sketch is another super-simple one with lots of potential for colourplay and even different blocks.

Angle your head by 45 degrees and you can see that these are just square blocks arranged on point. Most of the blocks are either white background or coloured foreground squares. The other blocks are half-snowballs (basically a square with two opposite corners lopped off) and diamond shapes.

I originally started with the two easiest shapes, which might make the grid layout more obvious:

And, since it feels a bit like a chandelier or necklace, I played around with some negative space too…

This would be a great design for a quick and simple scrappy quilt. Many of us have a lot more time up our sleeves now, so feel free to whip one up if you’ve got the scraps!
