First 6 rows cut, has taken a while because i think i am over thinking this. The instructions tell you to lay fabric face up and then place next fabric face up on top with the overlap as per the instructions and then cut the curve, removing the excess fabric from top and underneath. There is an awful lot of waste and i couldn't quite visualise the affect before cutting hence it taking forever.
The last strip i did i decided to place under the previous one and then cut. This seems to create less waste as the overlap is not as big and i can see better what the affect is going to be. This may be my downfall, we will see. You know me, not a big fan of slavishly following instructions.
Tomorrow i will sew the strips together that i have cut, i haven't got the room to cut all the strips in one go so it will be done in 3 parts.
Undecided as to applique or embroider, may do a bit of both. The applique pattern needs to be magnified 400% taking it to AO size and Philippa at Fabricate has very kindly got her brother to do it for me.
