DTRH Blind Challenge-- Clue #3

NOTE:
I have added a photo of the back as requested.

Well, it's week 3 in the 5 week
Down the Rabbit Hole Blind Challenge
that Bea at Dog in the Hole is heading up. 
So far, so good!
It's all about interpretation Bea says.

Clue #3
Carefully cut apart the quilted fabric
 into at least 6 separate pieces.
(I cut mine into 7 pieces)
Be creative in  your cutting, if you want. 
Think circles, shapes, waves, etc.
(I have my piece below, showing how I cut it)
(I have some curvy ones
and some angular ones,
all sizes.)
After the pieces are cut apart
they are to be REASSEMBLED
into a completely NEW, NON RECTANGULAR SHAPE.
Play around with this until you are happy with the new shape's design,

(I tried many different designs,
but decided on this one in the end.)
THEN....
stitch it back together
into ONE WHOLE PIECE
with a backing fabric behind it.

(I put pink print fabric on the back
and stitched each piece together
with a decorative stitch,
using black thread and black bobbin.
Then I cut off the excess backing fabric)

Another book on my wish list.
Does anyone have this one already?
If so, would love to know what you think of it.

Savor the Day!
Yvonne

Oooh...I'm really liking this challenge Yvonne. I'm glad I scrolled through your post slowly because I was really puzzling about what on earth you could do with all those pieces and it was a nice surprise to see it put together.
Don't have that book (what, you mean there's a book I don't have?? Horrors!!) so I can't say what it's like. Right now I'm devouring (& have ordered my own) Stitch Alchemy...wow!
