Use simple shapes for variety from "summary" of Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg,Cheryl Arkison
When you're looking to add variety to your quilting projects, one simple yet effective approach is to use basic shapes. By incorporating shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles, you can create dynamic and interesting designs that catch the eye. These simple shapes can be combined in countless ways to produce unique and visually appealing patterns. For example, mixing squares and rectangles can result in a modern and geometric aesthetic, while incorporating triangles can add movement and energy to your quilt. Additionally, utilizing circles can introduce a softer and more organic feel to your design. By experimenting with different arrangements and sizes of these shapes, you can achieve a wide range of effects and styles in your quilts. Furthermore, simple shapes can be easily manipulated and arranged to create secondary patterns within your quilt top. This layering of shapes adds depth and complexity to your overall design, making it more engaging and visually stimulating. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced quilter, embracing the use of simple shapes can open up a world of creative possibilities. So next time you're planning a quilting project, consider how you can incorporate basic shapes to bring variety and interest to your work.
