I have been hoarding my collection of Eclectic Elements by Jim Holtz
since
we came home from Houston in November.
Then I saw this cow....

Laura Heine of Fibreworks in Montana
It's great when you are inspired to 'get to a project'!!
I sliced and diced up my FQ's and arranged in color palette
For the backing, I used fusible interfacing with the glue up.
I figured that way I had double the fusion,
with the wonder under and fusible when pressing it all together
If and when I do this one again....
I would pay more attention to direction of my fabric
and
cut it so the lines run the length of my strips
It was all a matter of shading...
(not to say I got it right)
A design wall probably would have been better than a floor...
But before you know it...Old Abilene was coming together
I had a piece of Tim's Wide back leftover which was just the right size
I knew I wanted to try straight line quilting.
Not sure why as 'straight' and I don't belong in the same sentence.
The only thing missing is our brand!!
ABILENE....
in a Speckled Park version!!
