This pattern is called Andante, an Italian term meaning "moderately slow," often used in classical music to describe a tempo resembling a "walking pace." For the Transposed Harmony Collection, I chose musical terms to name each design. While some names came easily, others were more challenging—this one, in particular, required some thought. The motif, however, reminded me of 4/4 timing in music—I can almost hear the ticking of a metronome as I looked at it! It also brought to mind the image of walking while contemplating which direction to go. The repeated motif is inspired by artwork crafted from piano parts, much like many of the other designs in this collection.
This second colorway in rust is also available in my Spoonflower shop.
I decided to add another colorway to my shop in addition to the original 2 colorways. Mocha Mousse is the PANTONE color of the year, so I’ve been trying it out on some of my current patterns. I love the softness of this pattern color. I think it would make a beautiful wallpaper in a nursery or on bedding fabric.
