Geometric Fabric

Answers.com defines geometric as
  • Of or relating to geometry and its methods and principles.

  • Increasing or decreasing in a geometric progression.

  • Using simple geometric forms such as circles and squares in design and decoration. Of or relating to properties in algebraic geometry involving algebraically closed fields.

All three of these meanings are well suited to describe geometric, but pay close attention to bullet point three "using simple geometric forms such as circles and squares in design and decoration." It's almost as if when they wrote the definition of geometric they were thinking of the geometric fabric section at http://www.imaginefabric.com/.

ImagineFabric.com has hundreds of fabrics to choose from that represent geometric squares, Circe's, and closed fields. Fabric designers are so creative and must have got straight A's in high school geometry because when you look at the patterns they create it's an amazing use of geometric patterns.
Take a look at Joel Dewberry's Dear Valley Collection and specifically the Mountain Gem fabrics. The pattern has an intricate weave of lines, squares, and angles to form amazing geometric patterns.




Geometric patterns don't have to come in squares and circles. Take a look at Alexander Henry's fabric Hearts to Hearts. This fabric has bright colored hearts that are aligned in patterns to create a simplistic, but artistic geometric pattern.

Geometry is all around us in our everyday lives, but most of us, including myself don't pay close enough attention to notice it. Thankfully, there are very creative people out there, and especially in the fabric designer world that can bring alive amazing geometric fabric to all of us.

Marimekko Throw Pillows

In my opinion, throw pillows from Marimekko are by far and away the most beautiful style on the market today. Marimekko throw pillows use large floral patterns that are inpsired by the 70's. My favorite design is the mini unikko. The mini unikko print comes in many colors including:
  • Black and White



  • Green and Blue



  • Pink



  • Raspberry



  • Lime and Green



  • Red

My favorite of these styles is probably the Mini Unikko Raspberry. This design has just the perfect reds for my taste. Not too red, and not too pink. Just perfect. But, I'll let you be the judge. Take a look at this one below and let me know what you think.




I found this pillow over at ImagineFabric.com. You can find all of the Marimekko throw pillows over on their website. While you're at it you can browse over 150 different pillow designs they have in stock. I'd be shocked if you couldn't find a throw pillow that's just perfect for you.

Thank you for visiting Throw Pillows and Fabric. We hope that you enjoy the creativity and showcase of all the styles on our blog.
