I was playing in my CAD and came up with some other designs for a three dimentional quilt using this sub-divide method. Here is starburst I drew. With the right shading, this could be stunning! Black lines are the triangles, red lines are the sub-divides. But look at what I can do to it! I drafted this in my CAD at 7 inches square. Now if I want it to make it in cloth 24 inches square, all I have to do is "scale" it up to 24 and print it out. I may want to sub-divide it further, divide all the smaller triangles again. Then with the other sub-divides, I could print it out for a queen size bed, I can do that too in about 2 seconds! It might take a whole roll of freezer paper but I bet it will lay perfectly flat.

Now, if I decide that I want it to ba an oval instead of a square, I just tug at it a little and there it is. It feels so wicked when I do that! |
Here
is another option that I reallllllyyyyy like. The drawing on the left is
how it started and on the right with some added lines and some adjustments
for design. It isn't sub-divided yet, but I think I like it. Pat
said you can have triangles that "hang over" and it would be really neat.
I think it is neat! And it would't be that hard to piece either.
Maybe I can make that top one hang over too...
Okay
here, I did this little "structured" drawing on the left first. All
those little "matching" points would be a bust... however when I "rubber
stamped"it and put two together, I got this star design. Now, remember
Pat said if you get six points together you get a star! Well, this is what
she meant. lol...lol... But I really see a thing happening
here if I make that 'star' a regular star, and then do the 3-D triangle
thing around the edges... a table runner?? Oh well, back to
the drawing board. ( I wonder if draftsmen still say that if they
don't use 'drawing boards' anymore... back to the 'drawing program'?
