Venetian Gothic Rough Bricks - Craft Fabric

The fourteenth design of the Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collection is rough bricks. Bricks were the main building blocks of the Venetian buildings. Bricks are lighter weight than stone —— except of course, when you replace it with stone that holes carved out of it. The bricks were typically covered with stucco. Sometimes thin stone veneer. The salty air and movement of the buildings, resulted in the stucco cracking and falling off.

I tried to make my bricks a little rounded. And a little uneven. From looking at photos in books and on Google Street View, there is considerable variety in the bricks. And many walls have patches of various bricks mixed together. Each time I make a brick design, my bricks get a a little more realistic looking.

Rough Bricks 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 with 18 inch repeat, and on wallpaper with 24 inch repeat. It is also available in small size with 6 inch repeat on both cotton quilting fabric and wallpaper - perfect for quilting or making dollhouses.
