I am playing around with a stitch and flip
improv technique...
Improv Stars
This is what my work table looks like today...
I pawed through my scrap bin and
pulled out a few jewel tone scraps
and sorted them by color...
I also found this...
I placed strings under white cotton
and rubbed over the top with thickened dye.
I cut it into 2 1/5 inch strips,
then cut it into 2 1/5 inch squares
and 2 1/5 x 4 1/5 rectangles
Then I stitched triangle shapes
to the corners...
The 4 squares go in the center,
the rectangles create the star points...
Here's one in progress...
white background pieces on flannel board
Big triangles stitched to rectangles...
smaller triangles stitched to squares in center...
Improv Stars......FUN !
