Here is another UFO!
This one is made from recycled fabrics - shirts from charity shops and some new fabric (the lime and green stripe).
This project ground to a halt when I had to decide whether to applique the star onto a background or try to piece the background in. I'm leaning towards applique to give it a bit more strength but am open to suggestion...?
I also want to make some small satellite stars to surround this bigger one so it need not be lonely anymore...! I like asymmetry so the star won't be central but will hopefully be balanced by the litttle stars....oooh I think I'm getting my mojo back on this one!
Do you ever lose your way mid-project and if so how do you get back on track?
I think this blogging thing is good at getting me to take another look at these projects - seeing the photos on the page somehow gives me a bit of distance and I start seeing solutions rather than the many obstacles. I even start liking them again!
That's a good thing - right?!

wow Nicky! Where have you been hiding this one? I love it! Ohhhh...I have debating on doing a Lone Star next. This one is fantastic!BTW - I get lost all the time - hee hee :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good thing! I would probably applique it, but that is only because I could do a better job.
