I am currently working on a new quilt that I am designing in a class at QU. The working title is “Breaking out of fear”.
The original sketch was made by drawing lines on one quarter of a folded piece of paper. The resulting design is then reflected onto the other 3 quarters:
That was the first draft. We were then supposed to refine the design. I had an idea in my mind, but the first attempt at putting the idea onto paper was detrimental. I ended up with bug eyes and the arrowheads that were the main feature of the design faded into insignificance:
The idea was right but the articulation of the idea was not. However there were some changes that I liked. So after sleeping on it I had another attempt and came up with the final design which incorporates the idea and the best aspects of the failed revision.
This final design sketch is after experimenting with grey scale values.
