When I work on small quilts I tend to have a lot of stuff next to me. I had cut out this lovely African lady and places her down next to me. WOW I would not have necessarily picked this fabric for the background but I was in love at the marriage of the two fabrics. The hues and colors just were meant to be. The strips on the side were not a fluke, I had paired them to be with her. I had cut a frayed them for extra texture and love weaving fabrics so that was a natural for me.
She is just beautiful on that background. A happy accident, for sure. :)
