I couldn't resist! Lea Rako (of AlenAlea fame with her gorgeous hand dyed threads and patterns) turned an edging into 2 square motifs by turning it outwards and inwards! The pdf will soon be uploaded to the project doc and I will update the link here.
I tired it with colours. The insert is an optional variation to Square #1 for those who do not like large open spaces.This is how the square looks without the insert. I don't mind it at all. In this pattern, the edging is turned outwards and the motifs look like an open lotus to me.
I loved playing with colour positions, using repositioning methods (I don't exactly remember which was used where) - See Lock Join Plus series. I haven't cut off the threads, wanting to play some more in future. There are so many more possibilities!
Imagine the edging turned inwards; the triad lying inside and a few elements added to span the distance. That is the 2nd square pattern included in her pdf.
Lea also tessellated the squares into a beautiful fabric! For both squares, Lea indicates the joining picots when tessellated.
And before I sign off, Eye Spy yet another heart!!! It will require a bit of juggling to get a smooth outline since the 2 side rings tend to lie beyond the outline. Worth a try, though, right?

Thank you so much, Lea, for sharing these beautiful squares!
Hearts everywhere! I like the addition of the centre motif, but in any case it’s an effective motif.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane 💖 Lea's models in white are beautiful but I wanted to see how the pattern works out in colours.
