Side Project 1

Something a bit different - as I tried out an idea for showing tessellation in an easy way for me to handle - I originally thought about  cutting out multiple cats from different fabrics, but decided that my skills weren't accurate enough to attempt that!

I couldn't find a textured background that I wanted for this pink kitty, so ended up using silk, off cuts inherited from my MiL

This is my finished piece.

The design (errors in it all mine!) is based on an image of a wooden puzzle that I found on the internet, by Suekatcook in 2020.

However, when I went back to check the source, I found that Julie Fukuda has a blog post in 2012 where she shows how she designed the pattern, based on her cat, Pearl, which she was making as a mini quilt!  
 

Isn't it fabulous?  I think that the design of tessellating shapes is really interesting.
