But it is very repetitive so once you make your first cuts, it's simple.      Today I've got a short and simple post where I'm consolidating my top five intermediate level quilt patterns.

What is Surface Pattern Design?

  Surface pattern design by definition is a pattern that is created to repeat seamlessly on any surface such as wallpaper, fabric, etc. My love of interior design and quilting has always returned me to this dream. My dream is to become a surface pattern designer. I want to see my own designs come to life on fabric, wallpaper, rugs, journals and anywhere else it takes me!   Above are some branch sketches and a wallpaper that is available on my Spoonflower shop.   Here are just a few small examples of where you might see a repeating piece of...
