Here's a FUN background fill design: Hair Bands It can be used around applique work or to fill any negative space on traditional or art quilts. Hair Bands Tutorial: Chalk out wavy lines on the fabric Begin by adding hair band shapes... these remind me of the brown, plastic hair bands I wore when I was in grade school. Complete the first row of hair bands Begin the second row of hair bands... going in the opposite direction First 2 rows are completed... Add your third row of hair bands... going in the opposite direction Three rows of hair bands completed... You get the idea... Fill up all available space with Hair Bands There is no travel stitching. For a Wonky Look... Angle the chalk lines for a wonky look. Works great on art quilts! Inspiration from the Flower Beds: The Red Sunflowers are blooming... in the back yard...
