Minimalist Cheater Quilt Spoonflower Challenge

OOOh the challenge to design a quilt block in just two colors. Bring it on!

I have never really tried my hand at serious quilting. The precision required not only with the cutting but sewing really puts me off, but I really do appreciate a beautifully made quilt.

In my head I thought it was really important that the quilt block I designed for this challenge could actually be made so I got carried away with geometry in Illustrator. It was a nice change from my free flowing ipencil. I gave my quilt block a modern feel.

Accent Wall Spoonflower Wallpaper Challenge

Ohhh, I have to say it is good to be moving on from Pantone’s Mocha Mousse this week on the Spoonflower challenges. The latest prompt is to design an accent wall wallpaper.

I was inspired by the English countryside where I grew up, a sweet little village and with a farm that had a windmill on a hill! I also really love the look of block printed linocuts and channeled that it the design style I used.
