I had planned that this time I was going to write about my previous projects that I worked on over past few years, since I started to play with patchwork. But I changed my mind and decided to show my previous project I was working on for the exhibit at MTP Home D\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a long time, I could not decide what to work on, I was looking everywhere for some inspiration, I even start working on something new, but that project ended up in the garbage can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted do make something different, something colorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was rummaging through my stuff, I found an excellent project. I was positive that this was what I<\/em> had been looking for. It also gave me a chance to try out my new swivel mat, which I received from Mr.<\/em> Jacek Wrobel, the chief of OLFA Polska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is going to be 70 cm long. It is going to be composed of three elements that will not be<\/em> connected but will create one piece in the end. I printed out the template on my plotter and copied it<\/em> onto freezer paper.<\/p>\n\n\n

After tracing the pieces, I chose to cut it along the lines. Admittedly this was the easiest route. I had to<\/em> put all the pieces away into a basket because one of my helpers decide to jump into action, Mr. Patch.<\/p>\n\n\n

Life with free running bunnies teaches you that everything that can be eaten needs to be stored in a<\/em> safe place. If you react more drastically, I do not mean violence or yelling, you must realize that you will<\/em> be punished. They will give you the cold shoulder and will refuse to be petted.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After cutting all the parts I had to choose the colors. And here the color wheel comes very handy. The main color will be green.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

My hand dyed fabrics were already dyed, waiting to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Of course, not everyone liked my selection. My bunnies prefer the blue color better.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Finally, I could use my new OLFA cutting matt. I have to say that I did not think that I would enjoy this<\/em> part as much as I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the cutting matt has a big\nworking space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, it swivels. During cutting it\nrotates very smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, the fabric that lays on top, does\nnot slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth, it is very much self-healing\nmatt, there is no trace of the cuts. <\/em>It is wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, I was using the same kind of matt from different company but there is no comparison. I would recommend that OLFA mat to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I am 100% sure that it sped\nup my cutting process.<\/p>\n\n\n

I thought that this project was not going to be very time consuming, that I would sew it quickly. Like<\/em> usual, I underestimated the amount of work involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you can see a piece of my first panel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next it isa piece of the second panel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And this is the third one, the most time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For each panel I choose different colors but there were common colors that repeated through the panels.<\/p>\n\n\n
