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.

I made a quilt recently (which I’ll share in a few weeks’ time) that used loads of wide curves – the same size/shape that I used in my quilts Blue Wave, Whirlwind and Quattro. Basically a 7″ (finished) drunkard’s path unit with a 3.5″ (finished) drunkard’s path cut out of it. A bit like a macaroni! It’s such a great shape, and so easy to piece thanks to drunkard’s path templates from Papper, Sax, Sten.
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.
