Description
Valerie interviews Claire Campion amongst her wonderful quilt and cushion designs.
Her designs use half square triangles, roman strips and repeated patterns to produce fresh looking blocks. The secondary patterns created from the combined blocks show the beauty of the patterns. Quilting all over her designs adds texture and dimension to the patterns.
The naming quilts can be hard but Claire uses the patterns of the quilt to inspire the names in.
- “Sweet Wonder” named for the rose the pattern represents
- “Silene ” from the Latin for Campion, reminds her of blossom flowers
- “Star Link” uses negative space to help the pattern pop
- “Retro metro’s” use of roman strips and half square triangles lives up to its name.
- “Collider” an inspired optical illusion pattern which can be effective in both dark and light versions
Find out more about Collider in Claire’s upcoming workshop.
