More Strips and Curves

First I want to thank all of the commenters on yesterday's post about pen pals. It seems that a lot of us had the similar experience of being in contact through letters with someone we had never met . I think blogging is the modern day pen pal scene, but the nice thing is we don't have to wait until we have enough to write a letter, we can just post (or send by email) brief messages of our current thoughts. Who would have ever dreamed that was going to happen, instant contact with everyone.

This is one Strips and Curves that I didn't post with the others. I knew I had a picture of the strip pieced fabric before I cut into it so I had to search for it. This one is all batik fabrics. I made 3 stratas like this one and then cut them into the shapes with the acrylic template sets 1 and 2. I added 4 more fabrics into it that aren't in the strip piecing and cut them with the templates too. This one was started in Aug. 2003 so you see I am not one of those people who has to finish one project before I start another one. This one still needs to have a border (or not) and be layered and quilted. I haven't forced myself to make those decisions yet. Also as long as it is unfinished, it is mine. When I finish it I may decide I have to give it to someone or sell it and I'm not ready for that yet.
