A Different Perspective

Differing Perspective

For months I have wanted to find a unique way to use a particular border fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics. The abstract floral design that stood out was in the center of the fabric with dark background on each selvage. I was fussy cutting a striped fabric at a retreat when it hit me. Slicing the fabric down the middle and seaming the two selvage edges could result in a different perspective. Cutting 7” slices of fabric in varying widths and then seaming left me with an appealing background. Adding the half clamshell in a way that reminded me of a calla lily completed the design. It has been christened “Callafleur”.

I have made this with varied gray prints cut in rectangles for the background with ombre pinks and purples and bright butterfly to make a fun little baby’s playmat.
