In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin, WIP, part 3

As I was progressing on the collagraph cabin panels and the cyanotype ferns, and the needlefelted cabin center panel, I began work on the patchwork that would unite all the elements.

I used a mix of authentic indigo prints and cyanotype prints. There's always a few cyanotypes that have some sort of minor flaw, or that just don't fit into the particular work they were made for, but that still have lots of great design elements in them. It was fun to revisit the stash and pull things to use for this application. I made long, wide patchwork strips on a muslin base, then sliced them up and used them as connecting elements.

My cat knows he's not allowed up on the work table, but at one point I left to get a fresh cup of coffee and came back to this. I appreciated the feline stamp of approval.
