What if I start with a King's Crown block and turn it on point?

What if I combine 2 of each block to make this unit?

What if I combine 4 of the units to form a closed loop?
I need to fit this into a square.

What if I add the first on point block to each of the 4 corners?
I've got a square.
The center of this is ideal for some elegant quilting.

What if I add the second on point block to the center of the pattern?
There is still a lot of room for quilting; but the quilting will be less important to the overall design than in the previous design.

I love the negative space, it is something I neglect to think about. Glad you showed possibilities.

ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out the negative shapes. I wasn't even thinking about them all that much; I was focused more on the idea that these would be ideal spaces for quilting. But there is no question that negative shapes can add a great deal to a quilt design.
When I look at the final design from a distance it reminds me of lace, or the bedspreads and tablecloths that my grandmother used to crochet.
