When I first read about this challenge...
I didn't hesitate as to which fabric I'd just HAVE to enter. My Grandmother, God love her, had given me her collection of fabric about a year ago. This was one of the "gems" that I found. She passed away in December. I kind of regret not having asked her what she had in mind when she purchased six (yes, SIX) yards of this beauty. For scale, I've placed my 8" scissors on the fabric. It reminds me of something that would have been a hit in the Miami Vice era.. just need a few pastel tank tops and white linen jackets. The Miami Vice Mistake [ATTACH=CONFIG]151860[/ATTACH] |
Now that is an "interesting" piece. SIX YARDS!!!!

Elvis is such an exceptional fabric that it deserves to be the central focus of the entire work of art. Anyone that has an opportunity to work with Elvis should consider themself honored. |

I've taken a couple of yards have cut a four patch stack n' whack with the thinking that maybe it would improve... wrong. However, it was my DMIL's idea. I've threatened to give it to her! :thumbup: |
