I couldn't resist whipping up one of the peacock-like squares I mentioned in
last post. Front on the left, back on the right.
This is as close as I can get to peacock colors with my stash. Not too shabby, though. :) As you can see, I carried the blue along the back ... I'm not exactly sure if that was what I was supposed to do with it. I *was* supposed to make those chains, but I wasn't quite sure where they should end up. By tacking them to the back of that stitch, they keep themselves behind the purple, which hides them nicely.
Someday I'd like to try to make an actual peacock feather block ... because ... why not?
Oh! And extra points for
Sharon for coming up with "Radial Symmetry" as the actual word which corresponds to my fake* word, "kaleidoscopic," which actually means "continually shifting or rapidly changing."
Late addition: Blaize points out that the blocks aren't actually radially symmetrical, technically, they are horizontally and vertically symmetrical. But the *best* is her link to a
symmetry chart which has me saying "orbicular" over and over. I'm totally going to try to slip that into a sentence this week.
* I thought it was a fake word in the last post because I totally spelled it wrong. That's what I get for relying on Google suggest! Kaleidoscopic, when spelled correctly, is a real word.
Love this post?
