Venetian Gothic Palazzo Front Interior- Craft Fabric Art Panel

The eighth design of the Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collection is an art panel of the soggiorno or portego (in reading books, I see both words for the same space) - which would be the main living & dining room space at the piano nobile level (up one story from the ground floor) of a Venetian palazzo. So here you are looking at the inside of the front wall of the palazzo. You see the big window and the shadow of the carved stone outside it. Because Venice had a government with a court system to settle disputes (instead of using violence), Venetians could have large delicate windows. They did not need to build fortresses to live safely.

Here again, I am working on refining and improving my skill at making architectural details. I keep finding easier and faster ways to create architectural details. When I started learning this software, I had never really thought about using patterns to create shapes and images. As I keep making these designs, my mind is working out the patterns and ways to create these patterns. I am also still exploring just how much detail a design can hold - and still look good printed on fabric.

Front Interior of Palazzo design with coordinating fabrics. The Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collections features designs inspired by 16th century Gothic architecture in Venice. Available at my Spoonflower shop on cotton quilting fabric at 18 inch repeat, and on wallpaper at 24 inch repeat, which is perfect for dollhouses at 1:12 scale. Also nice as a hero or art panel in a quilt. Please keep in mind that if you purchase on wallpaper, you need at least 2 ft of wallpaper. The “sample” size is only 1 ft of length and you will only get half the picture (vertically).
