I want to use this grid to experiment with a variety of corner treatments.

This border and corner also have a grid based on the Fibonacci series 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21.......
I want to experiment with more corner treatments.

Now I need to pick a corner I like and see if I can design a quilt to go with it.

These remind me of some Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass designs. He is a favorite inspiration --- but not a quilter! These are so cool!!

ReplyDeleteFrank Lloyd Wright has always been a favorite of mine. He is noted for not only designing houses but the furniture and other accessories that went in them as well. It would not surprise me to learn he designed a quilt for one of his houses. But, if he did, I doubt he sewed it.
Wayne, this is an awesome *AWESOME* post! The Venetians (if I'm remembering correctly) used this to great effect in their architecture simple because it's such a pleasing ratio to our eyes.
ReplyDeleteTo use it for border treatments is *genius*! It absolutely takes all the guesswork out of trying to figure out how wide borders should be and still look nice.
thanks much!

ReplyDeleteIt is a genius idea. I stole it from Virtual Quilter (See Blogs by Other Quilters In my sidebar). Being a pirate you can understand that.
I am pondering a border for a quilt I am currently making. The center is done, but it really needs a border. I had thought about doing something with half-square triangles, but I really like this idea too. Hmmm. Thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteGive it a try. I'd love to see how it turns out.
