Playing with Blocks
Wonky Friendship Star
A Friendship Star is built on a ninepatch grid with consistent dimensions.
What if I change the grid dimensions so that they are part of the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 ,8, 13, 21..?
I get this wonky Friendship Star.
What if I try different ways of coloring the Wonky block?
They all have potential but I'm going to play with the last one.
What if I try combing 4 wonky Friendship Stars in different arrangments?
These are all interesting and I would like to play with them all. But not today.
What if I repeat the second one 4 times?
I like this pattern. I find it interesting that it includes variations on a Friendship Star, both big and little.

Wayne, I really like the last picture, too. Every time I visit your blog, I learn something. You really stretch my brain. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteUsing a Fibonacci grid makes the ordinary extraordinary. Thanks for igniting so many possibilities. i like what you have done with this purple/green block. Best of all, it is "doable" and could easily be constructed!
ReplyDeleteYep, very cool!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. My head is beginning to swell.

ReplyDeleteI agree that this pattern is indeed do-able. I also think it could be simplified by removing a few unnecessary seams. Four dark purple blocks could be combined to make one; four dark green rectangles could become one; etc.

ReplyDeleteI think this would make a cool 20" x 20" table-topper. It could probably be made of fabric from a stash.
I think that would also make a great center block for a quilt as well.
