what if#84: chained applique
remember those great folded paper chains we used to make when we were kids? i wondered if (?) that could be applied to fabric. 
indigo on indigo star, ragged edge, tacked with indigo thread. 2 1/2" star motif
excuse me while i perfect this idea and do a tutorial....later...
i love it when you re-invent stuff!

this works really well... I did some boats like this for my sons' rooms when they were small... wonder where it went?

Jude - do you just throw all these little what if's into a box when you're done for use at a later date? Or do you perform a "what if" at the time you need it?

cathie, i guess both. this what if process is really a manifestation of my creative thinking. they all used to be in my head. so, i get new ideas based on my current questions and i depend on old experiments for answers too. and i clean out my head once in a while too.
