Does a block of High Heels have any appeal?

Hi. I'm a designer. Would you kindly help me decide whether to pursue this new design? I don't wear high heels myself, but I'm fascinated that they exist in so many designs and that so many women love them. Would a block based on a stylized high heel have any appeal? Here are three layouts that include 16 blocks, 8 each of two different configurations of color and orientation. This block design lends itself to many rather wild "spiky" layouts. What do you think?

It's a neat block, but if you had not said "high heels" I would have never realized that was what it was intended to be. It looks more like some kind of stars to me.

i didn't see high heels either. i see them only because they were pointed out. i thought it was some variation of a southwest pattern.

I love the block - would it be paper pieced? How hard would it be?

I see the heels in the single block (although mine are usually the same color in the box and that would lose the concept in this design). Once you put more blocks together, I don't see the heels at all. Maybe because the spike of the heel angles inward (not a graceful way to walk for sure).

While not what a high heel really looks like, this has a very "modern" look. I can see where stitching and color choice would make a wonderful modern quilt. Sometimes its good to trick the eye a little.

I don't see why it wouldn't have appeal to some. I'm sure that with interesting color and fabric choices, the actual high heels could be seen clearly. I saw them in the designs and think they are neat.
However, I'm not particularly interested in making one myself, but I'd think someone would be. I try to stay away from triangles. :) |
