So I was in my sewing studio minding my own business putting fabric scraps away when I came across this strip set of Kaffe fabric strips sent to me by Quiltdiva Julie in a plastic box with Kaffe scraps. All else faded. I opened it up and pinned it on the design wall. Squirrel! I pressed it and cut it into 2 1/2" strips and put it back on the wall. I arranged the strips a few times. Ah, the colors washed over me and smiled.
Once I figure out the layout, I auditioned fabrics for above and below. I got to thinking that the top was like a sky and the bottom like grass for the band to float. I chose a blue with mottled values and a number of greens. Once I drew all the strips on graph paper and and numbered them all with tape, I cut the top and bottom pieces according to the sizes I figured out on the graph paper.
