Chapter 7 - Traditional Piecing Methods
Then I moved on to the Seminole method paper designs......fascinating.

I found this method harder, however more interesting and in my opinion more pleasing on the eye.
So on to the fabric samples.
I used my hand dyed fabric plus the fabrics I had collected in the previous chapter.

The next sample would not properly fit in the scanner...... my fault, I should have made a smaller sample. But I love this sample so I've uploaded the images I have.

I love these samples....but would it be strange of me to say I actually prefer the reverse sides.....
And then the Seminole method fabric samples...

| PAGE THIRTEEN |

| PAGE FOURTEEN |

PAGE FIFTEEN.

The last sample on page fifteen is my absolute favourite sample and made out of scraps too.
But again the reverse sides I find more interesting.....
 |
This is my favourite sample/photo of the whole chapter.
|
After I had finished I decided to have a go with machine embroidered and whip stitched strips. Looking back at chapter three, I picked out a few samples and stitched on to hand dyed fabric.

| PAGE SIXTEEN |
Unfortunately my scanner doesn't like fabrics and some scans look wonky so I have included photos as well.
This chapter has been so enjoyable. The effects are surprising. Some samples worked a lot better than others but I think the majority worked in their own way,
