Challenge Fabric

                                                    Finished Project

                                  

                                                          Process                                                                                                  

                          Am I among the few that like this fabric?

                                I didn't want to cut it into pieces.

Instead I was able to cut 3 similar rectangles

to preserve the flower/plaid combo.

Wanting to bring out the blue in the flowers,

I started with some Jay McCarroll fabric.

 Next came made-fabric using blues, greens and red touches.

My plan was to use the made-fabric and the flower/plaid to make placemats featuring a star flower pattern. 

    I really disliked how this looked and switched to a new plan. 

                                 Fussy cutting some recently purchased fabric of santa angels,

I surrounded them with darker made-fabrics leaning much more towards 

browns and greens.

Much better!  When I ran out of the green plaid used in the border, I

started leaning toward black/red fabrics.

This year's challenge with last year's orange lights challenge.

Loving them both!

Happy Holidays!
