Black and White and Fused All Over: Part One
After completing the background for a recent quilt, I was ready to tackle the primary motif. I had decided to compose it with a wide variety of small black and white fabrics. The question was how to best manage that.

I had seen something online about creating a large shape with fusible webbing, and then fusing smaller pieces to it. That seemed like it would work well for my purposes. I tried it on a small leaf shape.
Voila!
After my successful experiment, I was ready to proceed with my actual quilt design. First, I drew it on freezer paper. (Just because that was the paper I had in the right size.) I then traced individual sections onto my fusible web and I was off and running.
I love it when a plan comes together!
