Sunday sketch #486
I always seem to have one or two unrealised ideas in my head when it comes to quilt designing – vague concepts or hazy pictures that float around my brain but won’t quite land on paper (or screen). One of these ideas is for an Australian native plants/flowers quilt – I’m determined to design a modern quilt based on banksias or wattles one of these days!
Recently while I was developing banksia ideas (none of which worked!), I came up with an entirely different flower design that felt fun enough to share.

Well, I mentioned that the pointed arch was now in my design rotation, so it didn’t take long for it to appear in another Sunday sketch.

I started off a bit slowly when first designing with these pointed arches, but I ended up going gangbusters. It’s such a versatile shape. It works a bit like a triangle-in-a-square block, but the curves add a bit of oomph that means it pairs really well with quarter-circles and orange peels. That’s what I’ve been using in the past few weeks’ sketches, and it’s the same again this week. But this one might be my absolute favourite!
