A quick
little one tonight on a pattern we all recognise but have probably never known
the correct term for, Quatrefoil. Meaning ‘four leaves’ Quatrefoil is a
symmetrical, stylised flower with four petals made up of equal overlapping
circles.
A beautiful
repeated pattern when joined, Quatrefoil has popped up on many textiles
recently due to the increased interest in trellis patterns, but can
historically be found as a Christian symbol in religious architecture and art
particularly during the gothic period.
I think the
soft curves of the Quatrefoil form a beautiful, soft trellis and make a
stunning, stylish cloth when printed in soft colours, your thoughts?

| This is just awesome! The Quatrefoil bedspread, cushions and curtain headers teamed with the pink bordered pillows and valance. Would have loved to have seen the border repeated on the side tablecloth, oh and a pink lampshade! |

| Classic large scale mixed repeat Quatrefoil bedding. |
 |
| I love this scale, cute and completely appropriate for this size occasional chair. |
 |
| I love the little inside a big Quatrefoil on this fabric. |
