Spoonflower Presents
The Patchwork
Design Challenge
Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house we go! Classic patterns like this week’s theme, patchwork, are getting a modern-day makeover thanks to the Granny-chic trend. While you won’t be required to piece together fabric squares for your entry this week, we are challenging you to take a contemporary approach to patchwork.
Overview
Whether it’s a faux patchwork design perfect for a handmade dress, the inspiration for a cheater quilt or an eye-catching design featuring varying blocks of pattern, we can’t wait to see how you piece this challenge together.
