5 Visual Design Elements to Improve Any Painting is a tutorial by Mark Mehaffey. His emphasis is on composition which can apply to textiles too!. Of course I immediately thought of applying his lessons to embroidery design and the design of crazy quilt blocks. Make a cuppa, take a break and I am sure you will learn from this.
I hope you enjoy it!

Very, very interesting, it gives some direction to my intuitive way of placing shapes and color. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing this, Sharon. It is a great tutorial, simple to apply to quilting. I know I’ll be thinking of it in my next project.
That was the BEST demonstration of principles of design I’ve come across. Thank you for posting this!
