Bafa members exchanged baggies full of "stuff" at our last meeting. This challenge was so much fun. It reminded me of a postcard class I took at Quilt Festival long ago (see Silk Purses or Sow's Ears) where we all dumped our scraps on a table then unleashed creativity, adding something then passing it to our neighbor to add something and so on until it came full circle, It was the sort of spontaneous-creation exercise I love doing. It's a good thing we did not have to use all the stuff in the bag because I got two little pieces and had leftovers (fig. 1-3 below). Note: In Deep Water Horizons (fig. 1), the deep water is a dye-catcher. I conformed design to the shape of the cut batting. Can't wait to see what everyone did.
