Something to avoid straight lines. What the heck---------stylized flowers! |
I started on my GGS's CT--Wild ones. The brown foxes are the main piece-----------which I cut to size, then tore all the other pieces. I've got a few more seams to go and then the snipping for the "rag" work. Looks good. On the back of each fox pieced I used a matching flannel that has squares and dots. I tore that too, and it's bit off-----------but the pieces are the back side so I'm not sweating that.
Live and learn! I'll be starting a the woody CT rag blanket as soon as the fabric arrives. I've got two rag blankets to snip-----------so I'll be a while. |
I have never ripped fabric except the selvages off for the back. Why do you do it? Is it so much faster?

#1 it's faster. #2 I can cut one little slit to start tearing a lot more accurately than I can cut a whole strip. And since I'm making a rag rug----the raggedy edges from tearing are no problem. When doing regular cutting and piecing, I seldom tear--------except to establish one end of the fabric as truly square. |
OK, the next one you should see coming is that the printed red fabric WILL bleed, right? Just buy the color catchers now! :)
