Sunday sketch #490
More sawtooth stars this week, since I’m building on last week’s sketch. It’s essentially the same underlying design, just coloured differently. Let me show you how I got here from there!
Sunday sketch #489
Would you believe that I designed this week’s sketch and drafted this blog post almost two weeks ago, and only realised last Wednesday that the basic design is the same as Sunday sketch #440 (posted last December)?! I always knew it would happen eventually… I’ve copied myself! 🙂
I thought about ditching this post, but in the end decided to keep it for a few reasons. First, it’s the lead-in to next week’s sketch, and next week’s blog post refers back to this one in a few places. And second, I’ve explored different colour placement (and palettes) here, which shows off the versatility of this design. So let’s get into it!
Sunday sketch #488
One of the quilts I’m making at the moment combines traditional quilt blocks (nine patches and rail-fence sashing blocks) with circles. It’s a funny mix of old and new, prints and solids… it’s a way to use up fabric from my stash while trying out a new design approach. At the same time, it’s been prompting me to add new or unexpected shapes into designs that were otherwise languishing. This week’s sketch is an example.
