Fussy Cutting Practice - Pattern Matching
 

I just started participating in a fussy cutting sew along on Instagram. This is my first attempt at pattern matching. The goal of this technique is to chop up an image and then piece it back together using hexies and epp. It's not perfect but good enough.

If you are interested in learning this technique Mr. Domestic has a good tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOpabpT20mc

oh my word. that is wonderful. I sent the tute link to a friend in England. She will be interested. you did a great job!

My children tease me that the definition of a quilter is someone who cuts perfectly good fabric into small pieces and then proceeds to reassemble the pieces to make fabric. We have all heard this loving definition, but your hexes epitomize that remark. I would love to see a picture of the original fabric before you redesigned it into this lovely peacock. Your work is stunning. And, I, for one, think it is perfect!

oh, after I watched the video, I see it is exactly like the original fabric. Nice technique. I'll have to give it aa try.

Incredible work. It is beautiful.

That's unbelievably good!

Very nice and wonderful matching up. Love it.

Oh this looks so spot on! Great job.

Wowzers! Nicely done!

Interesting concept

you did a fabulous job on piecing this. congrats!

It is wonderful, great work.

I love that birdie, way to go!

Beautiful! Great idea! I love the fabric.

Really nice. I've never seen piecing like this before.

That is so amazing!

Had to come back for a second look! Thank you for the video link-he makes it look easy...but you have taken it several steps farther! I am anxious to give this a try! Thanks again for sharing.

Goodness! That's awesome.

So impressive!

Wow, that is great. Looks like you nailed the procedure.

Well done! Nice job!!

Great job. Love it.

Good job!!

I had watched him a few weeks ago and happened to see the video you are referring to, made me think about giving it a try. I really like hexie's but have never done any we will see what happens!

I'm really impressed - your work is meticulous!

I think this is wonderful, certainly past my aspirations. Congratulations!

Do you sew it by hand? What stitch do you use? I ask because it looks like machine stitchery. Very nice job!

impressive!
