You might be wondering about the grid that appeared on my blog last night. I taught a class for the last 3 weeks all about intro to fabric design. Last night we were tackling seamless repeat patterns and needed a grid to work with in order to place all of our objects and motifs so they would repeat. We have been working in an elementary school computer lab and they have a lot of the features of the computers disabled (so the kids can’t mess things up) and we were having a jump drive issue. So uploaded our practice grid to my blog because everyone could get there to download it easily. It was a GREAT class – one of the best I have ever had and I really hope that they keep working on their designs.
Our very first night of class we did this design as a group. I didn’t tell them why we were drawing on little squares, but since our first class was just before Valentines day, we did a love theme.
We then scanned and made a repeat from this and printed it, so we each had a swatch of collaborative fabric to take home last night.
Valentine Grid repeat at Spoonflower. Collaborative class project.
Is this one of those “How many squares do you see?” puzzles?
OK, now I get it! I like how the background colors create an overall larger design. What a cool project!
