Time for Some Fusing

At Quilt Expo last year, I bought four patterns for fused projects.  I really like fusing, and don't know why I haven't been doing it lately.  Since Quilt Expo is coming around again in a few months, I thought I better get a move on and make some of these patterns.

The first one I'm doing is Project Runway Faye from Fiberworks.

I pulled this fabric many, many months ago and stuck it in a project bucket.  I still think it looks pretty good.  The zigzag is going to be the bodice.

I might to need to shop for a bit of fabric to use as her body, though.  Right now I see I picked a pastel stripe (?!?!?!).  But come to think on it, I remember seeing prints of models in a magazine where their bodies were patterned.  It looked kind of cool.  I'll try out a couple of different looks and see what works.

I'm happy to say I don't have a deadline for this.  After two short and intense deadlines on my last two quilts, I decided I don't like that!  That kind of self-inflicted stress is stupid.
