You may remember this post: Starting a new textile piece. It didn't get any further than here:
Firstly because I think I was trying to hard to make it like the Paul Klee painting and secondly, I got sidetracked into messing about with the sketchbook.
Last year I bought some fabric from Littleheath Barn Studio and then last month Liske advertised some more which I also bought.
My mind was buzzing with what I could do with it so I put the paints and sketchbook away and starting cutting up fabric.
I stitched the strips back together.
I tried out the remaining fabric in different positions
Then sewed it together.
And joined the whole thing together.
Only then it didn't look right. I tried the contrast strip in various places before cutting the piece up again.
It still looked a bit odd and I needed to decide how to finish it. I printed out the above photo and cut out the images and tried different versions of cutout.
I chose the last one and cut the actual fabric. Now to decide whether to use a binding or a facing and whether I should quilt it. I'll let you know how I get on.
