Joining the first rags

I continued pressing the paint rags this evening. There’s more than I thought! I couldn’t resist stitching some together. And then cutting them and stitching a little bit more.

I joined some of the used rags to unused ones.

Some of the rags are crunchy with paint!

I think the colours and patterns are beautiful. They will look great from a distance and up close.

I made some random cuts through a few joined pieces…..

…and then stitched them to other ones…

…and then trimmed it again ready to attach to another piece.

Soon I’ll make a pattern to help shape these pieces. For now, it’s fun just playing!
