Detail

I started this piece by cutting a rectangle of each of the colored fabrics and stacking the pieces on top of each other. Then I used my rotary cutter to cut through all layers at once, slicing off sections of the fabrics. I played with the pieces to make up my blocks. If you look at any one shape in a block, it will be the same shape in each block, but each shape will be a different color because it came from a different piece of fabric. The purple background was one large piece of fabric. I had put fusible web on the back of the fabric squares before I cut them, so once I had them arranged to my satisfaction, I pressed them to the purple background. I added the two columns of small squares of fabric to make it look more interesting.
