Quilt by numbers
I took scissor to fabric today, and made a start on "Charmed I'm sure".
As quilts go, it is in the "colour by numbers" end of quilting.  I take a piece of fabric with pictures printed on it.  I cut the pictures out.  I affix them to fabric with sky or other pictures on it.  
That's it.
I don't create the pictures, just rearrange existing ones.  I have (so far) restricted myself to material I already have.  I need to buy wadding for the quilt sandwich.  I want to get something that will make the dragon stand out (remember, the dragon has been drawn, I'm merely fixing it to the background), perhaps extra wadding.
I may buy some material for the binding.  I may buy some material for the backing.
I have material that I could use for both of those, but I have this intellectual discord that says "its too nice and I might need it for something else".  Then again, I could have said that about the dragon material.  In fact, I did say that about the dragon material until I told myself to get over it.
I may or may not enter it in the competition.  I'm just seeing how it goes.
In other news, knitty is out.
PS I'm glad y'all like my quilt.
