The jury is still deliberating on the coolness of this one. But it turned out raggey and wild like I wanted it too. Don't look too closely, I'm still perfecting my machine sewing technique.

I just searched for a good link to foundation piecing, and most everyone refers to paper piecing, or sewing pieces to paper instead of muslin. This is from the Denyse Schmidt book of quilting projects.
