      PS – How did you create those irregular fabric edges on Red Strata?

        Good question. That’s one of my favorite techniques. I call it jagged cutting. The idea is to scrunch the fabric into your scissor blades as you’re cutting. The result is that jagged and irregular edge. I love the effect. I use it a lot for vegetation, and anytime I want an unpredictable “zigzag.” See a class example at http://adventurequilter.com/just-a-few-hours-of-progress/

      Yes, try it Lif. It’s easy and it adds a lot of bling.
