A Quest

Last week we had storms most all day nearly every day due to a silly tropical depression that stayed parked right off our coast.  So, since I couldn't use the longarm and wasn't in the mood to piece one day, I decided to play a little game  in between working on the painting for my new Fiberactions challenge piece. I posted of preview of that new piece over there.  Just follow the link above to see it.

The game was to see how many garden style applique combinations I could come up with just using parts of 3 "GO" dies.  I used the feathers die, the circles die, and the flower die...but only the circles, stem and leaves from that die.   So I dug out some scraps and started cutting and arranging.  The collage below shows what I came up with before I stopped for dinner.



And I'm sure if I spent more time I could come up with even more.

Every time I use my GO cutter I love it even more!
