Week 1 Completed

I have finished the first piece in my BLUE series, there will be 8 more after this one.  I used torn strips of fabric going from dark to light and inserted bits of dyed cheesecloth and silk sari ribbon into the strips.  

I have already sandwiched the piece with batting and backing and done free motion stitching on it.  The right and left sides are cut to size, but because I am planning on joining the pieces together at the tops and bottoms, I have left a 1/2 inch leeway there.  Week 1 is completed!
