Stack, Slash, Sew & Turn
As I plod along with some boring but necessary bookkeeping (I must also do my tax return), I thought I would share this sequence of photos for the samples that I made for my demonstration at the guild meeting last Saturday.
- Make a stack of four fabric squares (mine were 15 1/2") right side up and make 6 freeform cuts.
- Swap the cut strips around to make a pleasing arrangement.
- Sew to make four new fabric squares
- Stack the new fabric squares on top of each other
- Make six cuts through all layers
- Peel off strips to make a pleasing arrangement
- Sew seams to make four new fragmented fabric squares.
- Play with possibilities and don't go cross-eyed

Ok, I am SO going to do this this afternoon!! hmmm... which four fabrics?
Other possibilities include using only two or three colours or introducing more colours/fabric squares before the second round of cuts. Remember, you will end up with raggy edges but these can be trimmed up later.
Judy,
You spun my head but I can't waith to try thank you Brenda.
That is such a clever idea. I am going to have to try this too!
