While rummaging around for more fabric for the border to go around the "men" fabric, this emerged - from the Bob Adams
workshop at FOQ in 2007 -
I was worried there wouldn't be enough with the fabrics already assembled - the strip needed was 308" x 8". I cut as many 8" high lengths as possible, and pieces what was left into 8" high strips. Then it was a matter of sewing a smaller piece onto either end of a bigger piece, then cutting that into several narrow pieces 8" high. Repeat until big pieces are small strips. Here they are laid out on the floor, in no particular order -
and some go back to the cutting board for disassembly -
It's looking livelier -
After about 5 hours all the fabric was in one long strip - definitely enough.
