After finishing all my Bears this Spring, I had a lot of false starts. Now I'm ready to begin using an alternative method for the basis of the piece. Having a few quilts to finish for my friends did help to clear the mind and aided in decisions made...
I dove in this afternoon.
It's going to be landscape, with trees in Autumn. Nothing new there but I wanted something different in the way of a background other than solid fabric or colour blocking covered with confetti. So I'm taking my inspiration from this project from last year, a purse I made using a pattern from Yoko Saito.
They were run through a bias tape maker, woven together and then fused and stitched to the facing of the purse.
Same method here, but these will be primarily green.
It's also something I can stop and start at anytime.
I'm thinking this will be a big piece...3'x4'?
It will take some time.
After all it is summer.

The body of the design was built from strips, one inch pieces of materiel.

I'm looking forward to watching this grow - fun concept for a background, for sure.
