I have been working on a quilt with muted shades of golds, browns, greens, and blues. You can see a small bit of some of the blocks on my design board. To balance things out (yin/yang) I decided I would use shades of pinks and purples in my next quilt. And instead of piecing squares together, I would use an applique technique (cut a background fabric and sew shapes on top). So, I cut out the cat and vase you see here with my rotary cutter. I'm into precision (rulers rule) so doing it this way was new for me, but I'm glad I got outside of my usual approach. I'm pleased with it so far.
