On my design wall …
I’m taking on another challenge to use specific fabric to make a quilt that depicts CELEBRATION. I decided to use a technique by Marilyn Doheney that I learned in a class that I took HERE.
First I sewed together strips of the challenge fabric to make a strata.
Then, using Marilyn’s ruler, I cut the strips into wedges.
I took those wedges and sewed some of them together making a ‘fan’ that I’m hoping will look like fireworks.
Another strata and more wedges produced more design possibilities.
And Amy’s cat Clyde just happened to walk by at the most opportune time!
