project: quatrefoil

A quatrefoil in design is basically a four lobed shape and is usually a symmetrical pattern that repeats itself. It is classic with religious and architectural history and modern too with it's bold and graphic designs. Let these bloggers inspire you to incorporate some quatrefoil:

Teal And Lime: quatrefoil drum shade pendant light - fantastic tutorial

Kreative Knack: my oh my your so good lookin... - quatrefoil painted dresser

The Project Corner: kitchen mat up-cycled - painted quatrefoil of course!

Lisa Goulet Design: the continuing transformation - quatrefoil stenciled walls

Creative Chaos: silver home office/craft room - alternate title: cursing quatrefoil!

The Crafty Scientist: paint chip quatrefoil art - it looks great too!

Diddle Dumpling: tutorial hand painted rug - with homemade stencil
