Description:
This stunning geometric design was set up with offset units of a stitch that I call Mirrored Chevrons. The mirrored units form undulating ovals and the offset placements produced the various elongated diamonds, right triangles and chevrons along with the vertical and oblique ribbons in the design.
Most of the fillings are multicolored couching patterns that fit the contours perfectly. Two of the areas have simple diamond trellises, however, and these ten shapes form a large elongated diamond shape that appears to overlap the vertical areas behind or beneath it, adding some interesting dimension to the design.
Color Choices:
- Option 1: The original model uses red and gold threads with turquoise/peacock blue accents.
- Option 2: Option 1 with aqua/teal accents.
- Option 3: Option 1 with purple accents.
- Option 4: Burgundy/mauve with sage green accents on an eggshell canvas.
