Update on June TIF and initial thoughts for July TIF

My June TIF is coming along. I didn't have to redo the top of my piece. Once I ironed it the small pieces of fabric stayed together okay. I put a piece of Romeo (water soluable stabiliser) on top, pinned around the edges and then took to it with the sewing machine. I love how the background turned out. I also changed my idea for my main focus. Hopefully will have it finished by next week and will show you then.

Well the July TIF is "The Half Way Mark". At this stage I think I will focus on Half. I haven't done any abstract art quilts before so I'm thinking of using shapes halved to form an abstract design. I'll have to do some sketching and see what I come up with.
