I decided to create my own theme this week, Plus designs. I loved the focus on a single topic and will definitely try and do a few more of these.

16 September:

Using a repeatable block design, with solids that represent the above colors.

I also decided to try this one in prints. I like how the differences between the solid vs. print a lot with this design.

17 September:

This is one of my favorite designs this week. I love the color palette and the simplicity of the design.

18 September:

Playing around with a repeatable block made up of the plus and arrows within a cross/plus layout. My favorite landed up being the second option which looks like a wonky totem.

The first option, I had as a full nested plus/cross.

19 September:

Thi s is the second design that I love this week. It was inspired by a game of Tic Tac Toe (Naughts and Crosses). The line for the two colored background represents the winning line.

20 September:

“Raining Crosses”

There are two design competitions going on at the moment, so if you want to give designing a chance it is a great idea.

• Modern Quilts Unlimited – Fresh Ideas Competition Design a Block (closes 30 September).
• Cloud 9 Cirrus Solid BOM Challenge Design a Block and it might be chosen for the BOM (Block of the Month ) (runs all year)

If you want to check out more of my QDAD designs you can find them here. Stay tuned for next week where I focus on a minimalism study using only red, white and black.
