Yesterday afternoon, while pondering the coffee/tea challenge, I started thinking about fusing fabric to a coffee filter and doing origami folding. I headed to the internet for instructions and couldn't find what I was looking for. I did, however, find instructions for iris folding. It's usually done with coloured paper.
I downloaded a circular pattern and got Menachem to enlarge to the size I needed.
This morning I started. Instead of folding the fabric strips in half, I just folded under about 1/4 inch. I placed the strips face down following the numbered order and pinned everything. Then I flipped it over and stitched down the pieces.
Now after having done it, I think the next one I will strip piece, sewing onto paper or press and seal and remove the paper/p&s when finished.
I now have to decide what and how to attach it to a background and what else to do. I have some thoughts but am not sure yet. That's why I have all day to play.
I guess it could also be done with ribbon (no ends to fold under). I might just try the Magen David (Star of David) that someone posted on IJQ.
