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?
