In yet another attempt to baffle (and thus provoke) the creative impulses of our textile-loving community of designers, our theme this week was fabric designs inspired by puzzles. Have a go at picking out your favorites and we'll announce the winner next Thursday.

Dear Spoonflower, I would really like it if on the contest voting page you could be shown a summary/confirmation of which fabrics have been selected once you have reached the end of the list but before you submit your votes to be saved. Sometimes when I have opened a fabric swatch up to view bigger in order to decide if I like it or not, it ends up not getting selected properly and there’s no way to tell until after my votes are already saved.
Also, an option somewhere to choose a default setting for votes to be either public or private would be handy. I usually make my votes public because I like to compare with my spoonflower friends which fabrics we have each liked and it is annoying to have to remember to change it each time.
Another thing that would be nice is if on the pages showing votes for past contests it would show that a particular fabric came 7/234 or 65/122 for example. It would be nice to see the result for the fabrics I chose without having to find the relevant blog post and search it manually.
I hope my comments/suggestions don’t sound too whiny – I really do enjoy looking at all the entries and voting on the ones that interest me.
Regards, scherre – often-time voter but thus far too much of a procrastinator to have been an entrant.
btw, if blog comments are moderated – which I hope they are, otherwise they are disappearing into the internet – it would be nice to have a message to that effect after posting so that people are not left wondering if the comment has been moderated or eaten 😉
Good suggestions, Jade. And yes, the comments are moderated because we had a brief flurry of spam a couple of months ago, but I may go ahead and remove moderation again to see how it goes. You’re not the first person to think her comment had gone missing in the ether.
