I have a commission which I have worked on bit by bit over the past few weeks. As you all know only too well, design for another is an iterative process, especially when locations are far flung.

Anyway, the idea was to create a celtic knotwork inspired quilt top, with a post-modernist fairly strict geometric pattern with quite vibrant colours.

So here are some of my initial ideas in chronological order:-

celtic knotwork - design idea 1

celtic knotwork - design idea 1

celtic knotwork - design idea 2

celtic knotwork - design idea 2

celtic knotwork - design idea 3

celtic knotwork - design idea 3

Progressing from the initial design brief into something rather more complex and thence morphing into to what might be regarded as a Roman mosiac but trying to show knotwork geometrically and with at least some sharp colour.

Being an ongoing process, the design concepts continue …

But, do the ideas work for you?
