Created for Project Quilting Season 8 Brighter the Better challenge.
I've been making things from shreds for a long time. Shreds are the smallest strips of fabric, often left at the end of a piece or when squaring up a piece of fabric. Selvages and anything narrower than 1 inch is a shred.
For this project, I used squares of black fabric as foundations. I simply laid down shreds and top stitched them in place, then put all the squares on another piece of fabric and top stitched around the edges of each square. I decided it needed a little more fun, so I cut out circles and either rotated or switched them and top stitched the whole thing onto another piece of fabric.
Finally, I layered it with batting and backing and quilted it together with a few lines of stitching, then put it in the washer and dryer to make the edges fuzz up a bit.
