Design and inspiration

I've been playing around with ideas really roughly jotting down design illustrations on scrap bits of paper, thinking mostly about texture. Picket edging is a simple crochet stitch that many people use to embellish designs or to create a more complete product. I have tried to use it to embellish, without only using it on the edge of a piece. Below you can see a few designs and a simple moodboard I've put together to generate ideas from. 

I'm still wanting to focus on the juxtaposition of cotton fabric and crochet.  Some of the cushions above have layered the two, used crochet to embellish, or are purely crochet.
