QDAD: Quilt Design a Day (Week 10 & 11)

I had created a couple of designs, the week before last before taking a small break…so this is a combination of weeks. Here goes:

21 August: Coral Reef

I loved this picture and colors. It reminded me of my Marine Sciences paper which studied reef topology and the dynamics of wave theory.

One of my husband’s favorite color combinations is green and yellow. Since today was our wedding anniversary and the color combination was available today…this is for him. QDAD_Crosses_22August

This design is inspired by some dashed pillows and rugs that I have seen around in magazines this season.

29 August: Fractured

Inspired by the cliffs along the coast in Napier, New Zealand where you can see the layers of the earth and the fractures from the tectonic plates.

The color palette I loved on this one, which was supplied by one of our members. This design was inspired by a cardigan I had seen in my TV obsession “Pretty Little Liars”.

Inspired by a Circular shelving unit currently available at the Land of Nod.

3 September: Sky Scraper

I had this design originally in the color palette above and I did not like it at all, so this is take 2 in just black, white and grey.

That’s it, next week I am super excited as we are doing a challenge. Challenge = Use inspiration from the environment around you to inspire your design.

    Some very cool designs. That coral reef inspired one is probably my favorite. It alike a grown up, slightly pixelated version of a chevron. Or mountains 🙂
