Here’s the panel I’ve been working on recently. It’s made up of the tapa fish and tapa blocks I did a couple of years ago, based on motifs from South Pacific bark cloth designs. I always feel slightly guilty about so rarely making things with my own designs so I thought I’d better put these to some use and not just keep them in storage. The blocks are stitched separately and then just pieced together, which should be simple but for someone with my minimal sewing skills took a while to do
Panel in progress
Finished tapa panel
The final panel looked pretty good, and I thought that it might make a good cushion cover (which is why it's included in the "Designs for Projects" section). But that would involve yet more sewing so maybe I’ll just keep it as a panel. It needs backing and binding, of course, but I think I’ll leave that for another day and get back to doing the designs
