I read your question about best place to put the focus fabric. From what I understood from Ricky's video it wasn't really possible to decide that. Also, it could very well be that another fabric jumps out and becomes the focus fabric.
I might be totally wrong of course :-)

Love everyone's designs!

A big take-away for me is giving up control in the beginning of the design process!

I am a bit behind. i am uploading my strata. Still need a bit more pressing.

Here's the center of my kaleidoscope. I need to cut out sections 1 and 2 and find some place to lay it all out.

Ricky says to trust the process. Well the first photo has too much green. Second photo it a little better. The thrid photo I like a lot better but sure didn't know that teal print would do what it did! TRUST THE PROCESS!

I'm also using that marbled fabric (Paula Nadelstern I believe) and I think we have the same colourway! I've cut mine in the other direction.
