With peach and blackberry on my mind, as promised I allotted one hour to come up with a base for a fabric collage. First, I made a very quick selection of fabrics and ironed them:
Next, I cut several sized of strips, and started sewing them together:
Moving on, I kept trimming where needed and sewing pieces to create not one, but two sections of pieced fabric, until they were big enough to be able to get 8 X 10" pieces out of them.
Here's the final result, two collage bases, each 8 1/2 X 10 1/2, in less than one hour.

Yes, the size is small, but think about finishing things quickly. If you are pressed for time, look for small projects. You won't get overwhelmed, and your confidence will grow as you get satisfaction in finishing something in days or a week or two.
Next week, find out how I embellish the two pieces. I honestly have no finished image in mind right now for these. I am simply playing with a color palette.
