Sunday sketch #492
A few weeks ago, I shared a block-based design featuring alternating blocks that used straight lines and curves in complementary ways. I’m revisiting that concept this week, using some chunky shapes from a while back.

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.

This week’s sketch is another design that let me use lots of colours – well, up to six, which is a lot for me 🙂
It’s a block-based design, and each block has three distinct elements: four small circles, four orange peel units, and an outer squircle encompassing everything. So a two-colour palette is possible (though not very interesting), but a palette of three or more colours is best.
