While I was at my sons basketball practice yesterday I worked on cutting this silhoutte out. This is another one Designed By: Mary Stenros @ Willow Bend Creations and is called "The Roundup".
www.willowbendcreation.com

I decided to try a batik but at this point am a little skeptical if I like it or if I would prefer the black... Anyways,here is it so far...I still have a touch more of the Upper Corral on the left to cut out... and I must say my neck arthritis has started protesting.
This one I will say is a more of challenge with all the little windmill pieces and fence pieces. Definetly a Slow and easy going in cutting...

Pattern is now drawn onto 24" Steam A Seam 2 Lite"

Lovely work, I think it is really going to depend on what fabric you place it on how well it "pops". What are you planning?
