    Those are all really nice. You've got some very nice color/fabric combinations.

    These are all lovely I too especially like the Christmas one. I was wondering with the first one it looks like the top of the blade is missing is it or is the fabric so close to the background that you can't see it? I was just wondering because I did that the other day something got lost because of my color choice.

    Hi Maria,
    Yes - it has got lost, lesson learnt ! The same fabric as the background. I won't do that again.

    You will need twenty different fabrics and divide the 2 1/2" x approx. 12" long strips into five sets of 4 - making sure you coordinate the colours nicely. Then cut 4 blades using a Dresden ruler or template out of each set. I just followed MSQC tutorial which Pamela has kindly added the link. Please ask any other questions and thank you everyone for your very kind comments.
