DQS 10

 
Doll Quilt swap 10 partners, have been given out... I jumped right in to play...
I'm taking the opportunity to try new things, yet incorporate what I love to do... 
make fabrics from bits...

It's hard not to be totally influenced by the Mosaics people make that show their LIKES...
So I am trying not to lose myself in the process of what I know about my partner...
and to still make something that represents me...
 
 Thank goodness for the Sunday paper!  
Hard to find paper long enough to paper pieces some geese otherwise!
Time to ponder my next move...  

Are you already designing in your mind what you will make?
Or have you jumped into the creative pond too?

I love a good challenge!

    Love your flyers - especially their path, just like the real ones they don't fly straight lines either.

    Love the geese! One question - I've paper-pieced before, do you sew from the top (as it appears, since we see the lines on the top) or from the back? are there lines there too?

    You flip it over.. if you use a sharpie on newsprint your line goes all the way through... so you don't have to re trace on the back... hand trick... i was just making a little tutorial how I did mine... will post later...
