Cutting a failure up

Recently I came across a piece of fabric that I had mono printed in 2010, it had some serious technical problems and had been put aside. I brought it in from Studio B thinking I could use it for a backing on a quilt. While perusing black and white art on pinterest an idea flashed through my mind that said,"cut it up!" So I did.
 Before
After

Actually it looks a bit different now than the after picture because it is sewn together and waiting to be quilted, when I decide how I want to quilt it.

Got some new yarn recently, more of my cyber Monday shopping. A new cowl and a sweater are in my future.

The Weekly Leaf
I used another of the new stencils, one that also comes with the mask part.

With some paintstiks brushed on.

  1. Yowza! What a great example of transformation if one is willing to give up original intent and start chopping. How exciting!

  6. Great save with the back and whites.
    I am really appreciating your French knots since I am now doing some on a jeans jacket. It actually leaves me with sore hands, but I do love the look. Yours are spectacular, as usual.
    Happy New Year!
