What does matter is that it helps to emphasize and give definition to the quilt pattern.

Playing with Quilting
Log Cabin Block (See also 2 February 2010)
Given a Log Cabin block my first thought is to fill the triangular spaces with triangles. But I'm allowed more than one thought; so now I'm going to try something else.
What if I try something less geometrical and a little more organic?
I don't know what to call this shape. You might think of it as leaves, or feathers, or strange flowers. It doesn't matter.

What if I try a quilt design that originates in a different corner of the triangular space?
This is more delicate but no less effective than the previous motif.

ReplyDeleteLike you, I am always comparing designs and deciding which I like better. When I've decided, I then find myself asking "Why?" What is it about one design that makes it better than another? If I can answer that question, I know it will help me be a better designer.
So now I'm going to ask you to help make me a better designer. Why do you like the "shuttlecock" design (I have to call it something)better than the "butterfly" design?
