Design Challenge entry: 'Sunshine cheerful check by Su_G' - bedding mockup
'Sunshine cheerful check by Su_G': my entry in Spoonflower's 'Cheerful Checks' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2022 ~ with thanks to Sean Conaty for his excellent plaidmaker software. Along the way I wondered: where does a check stop and a plaid start? Some definitions have plaids as subsets of checks (my source is sewguide.com/checkered-pattern/), I bet there are some good arguments to be had on this subject!
I reused the strong colors from 'Sitting on Sunshine, Garden Party Picnic Blanket Plaid by Su_G': my entry in Spoonflower's 'Garden Party' Design Challenge - which itself sampled colors from my 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary + Thyme by Su_G' (entry in Spoonflower's 'Vegetable and Herb Gardens' Design Challenge). Again, just like working with plaids, it's a lot harder than it looks to get a good result. But also enjoyable. :-)
Shown as bedding (pillow shams & sheets) in the mockup (c/o Spoonflower).
The link for voting will be www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=656 - open for one week only. A wide-open contest on the theme of cheerful checks, & my guess is for about 1200 entries. Wrong! It's ~1310 entries as I write this!
