Sunday sketch #391
I am inordinately pleased with this week’s sketch. Sometimes I don’t love a Sunday sketch, or I’ll like it but not love it, and other times I’ll be absolutely smitten. This week’s sketch just pleases me in a way I can’t quite describe. It just feels ‘right’, if that makes any sense.
Sunday sketch #390
This week’s sketch is much like last week’s, but I’ve changed the size of the main shapes in the block. Instead of all the curves being the same dimensions, I’ve upsized some and downsized others. As a result, the blocks have gone from 16-patches to 9-patches.
Sunday sketch #311
Combining two motifs today – a curve and some sharp points.

This week’s designs started with a simple block: a circle with some internal zig-zags (similar to two adjacent half-rectangle triangle units). Here’s some alternative layouts and colourings so it’s clearer to see what I started with.


There are some interesting internal shapes in there, which you can see if you get your eye in.

I used colouring to emphasise only one side of the circle in the first design. It also works in a vertical orientation too.

This week’s designs would probably be easiest to make using paper piecing. I’d do the zig-zags first, then cut them out in a circle shape and piece that into a larger outer piece. Maybe a bit pesky, but do-able. Which is not to say that I have any plans to do it… 🙂
