At our guilds Christmas meeting we brought
1 yard of our ugliest fabric.
Later we stood in a circle with a scissor
and a random yard of fabric.
When the music began, we passed the
fabric till the music stopped.
Then snipped and tore the fabric in half.
Keeping one half and passed the other half on,
when the music began again.
Every time we kept half and the
other half was passed on.
Till we were down to a small piece.
We all ended up with 7 pieces.
Here is mine.
This became our Guild's Challenge Project.
The requirement was that it could not be any
larger than a 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper.
And three of the fabrics were to be used.
Plus you could add fabric as well.
We were to bring it completed to the May's
meeting and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
was to be awarded.
Then all the pieces would be displayed at a local
Historical Society event dedicated to quilting
in June.
So here is my Twisted Piece.
Photo not so clear!
The rust color is on the back and I used only the challenge fabric.
I did not place in any of the Top 3 Picks.
But I always Love a Challenge!
The theme was
"What Makes You Happy"
For me that is trying something new.
I have seen this technique and
it can be stunning.
However, I will need to practice this
more before I can use
the word Stunning on mine!
