Strata Swatches

Every now and then I have the need to slip into "Sweatshop" mode and do some factory work- (cut 20 of this sew 100 of this cut it 20 more times sew it all over). The timely offering of 'Twisted Ribbon Class' at Poppins Parlour suited me just fine. I also knew the instructor, Gwen, would be adding ideas that add quality to the project.
The first class consisted of selecting 20 fabrics that will be used to build 5 stata. The stratas will be cut into various widths and arranged just so, with the end result being a 'Twisted Ribbon'. This is a tweaked version of Chris Timms 'Twisted Bargello' that I first saw in an Australian Patchwork magazine.
I kept coming back to the orange and corally pink colour scheme with it starting at white and plunging through a mossy green to the black depths. I struggled with the transition from pink to moss green but I made do and hoped for the best. Tomorrow I will post the partially finished strips as assembled on the design wall.
