geometric patterns
Ordered angular designs
Geometric patterns are designs composed of repeated shapes—triangles, circles, squares, hexagons—arranged in regular, predictable sequences.
They appear in textiles, architecture, tile work, and Islamic art, where intricate geometric patterns substitute for figurative imagery.
The quilt featured bold geometric patterns in black and white.
