I can finally put this design to bed! :) Like last month's Boho Bulbs release, this design has been in the works for several years. It started with a date night at a local sushi restaurant. I was inspired by their back wall:

Isn't it cool?!

I loved how the lighting in the restaurant brought so much dimension and interest to the monochromatic wall. I immediately thought of quilting texture and took a picture with my phone. I started a sketch in my design software, but never fully fleshed out the design until now.



The challenge was conveying the strong horizontal orientation of the lines while coming up with a repeat that didn't have any backtracking and was easy to align/realign. 



While I like the way the lines of the dimensional panels of the restaurant converge and nest together, I thought rounded ends and gaps between the long back and forth lines would be easier to stitch while still getting the horizontal flow and texture of the inspiration piece.



I named this design Wake...
