A good friend of mine is teaching an art class in which she wants to reference folk art patterns and traditional quilt block patterns. Here's her request:
I'm looking for a traditional quilt pattern with square blocks and an interlocking/intertwining graphic pattern. I need it to illustrate a theme through art history, and how traditional crafters have taken up such themes without accessing the associated theories.
I feel like I've seen dozens of these quilt designs, but now that I'm looking for one, I'm coming up blank. Any tips?
I gave her the tessallating T block, which she says is on the right track. She's looking for interlocking patterns -- blocks where a secondary pattern emerges when the blocks are placed together.
IF you have patterns that demonstrate that, (with links is wonderful) I know she would greatly appreciate it.
TIA
