Sunday sketch #21
I can’t quite figure out what this design reminds me of… a constellation? Modern blossoms?
When it comes to emphasizing parts of the design through colour and fabric choice, I’m not sure what I’d prefer – diminishing the small squares so they recede into the background, or highlighting them so they pop into the foreground? Or treating the isolated squares differently from those that form part of the stars/blossoms?
Construction of this design would be easy – it’s all squares, half-square triangles and rectangles.
Sunday sketch #20
I thought I’d exhausted all the angular shapes that could possibly fit in a 2×2 square, but it seems not. Look at the great shapes that emerge from the whitespace!
Each 2×2 unit could be created from two smaller squares and two half-square triangles.

The same design in reverse shading:
I was imagining shelves of books, with wide or narrow labels on their spines. Using a single colour on either the spines or the labels creates an interesting secondary pattern.
