Skeleton Collars & Cuffs

Skeleton Collars & Cuffs is the third of four gifted panels.



I gave him a border of black, orange and brown fabrics.  My original plan was for the wider strips, but for a wall hanging, it was going to get too large and out of proportion.  So I simply cut the original strips in half.


I staggered the strip lengths.



Of course the selvedge had to remain as part of the finished panel.  



There was a lot of blank space in this panel.  Since he’s sewing, I gave him some fabric scraps scattered around him.  Stitched down with raw edge applique.  They also provided more color for the panel.



To finish, I just did some echo quilting and then some straight lines here and there to fill in.



Quite a dapper fellow, wouldn’t you say?

This is one incredibly stunning panel, Annie. I really love the panel, but even more so the way you treated the border. It is almost magic the way you added just the right amount of color here and there. STUNNING!!
