Several years ago there was a minor craze to make fabric 'pictures' using tiny scraps. The scraps were like confetti and were attached to a base and covered with netting I think. Maybe fusible was involved. Some of the pictures were realistic, such as trees and others were more stylized like mosaic design. Can anyone recall what this is called? I'd like to play with it a bit, but need the name to do a search.
Thanks, Pat in Virginia
There was a book called "Piecelique" as a take off from the word applique. I have no idea if this was the name of the technique, or just the name of this specific book.

Madness? Polly
After running though my book cases only twice, I found my book on this:
More Snippet Sensations but Cindy Walter
This one involved fusible, remove the backing paper, then snip and let fall into place. Press according to instructions and stitch on top.
I was going to says "snippets" even if I hadn't found my book, but I guess now you'd all not ever believe that...

I wonder that something like that would produce a Monet look - up close just color change but further away it would be a definite design.

Snippets it is--------and yes it would sort of look like a Monet. Have done a little and it is fun--make sure you tear off the fusible paper BEFORE cutting all the tiny snippets lol

Snippit quilts? Maybe. A couple of people in my guild made them like crazy for awhile.

I did a cushion centre using a similar method, though I used small trips which overlapped and were held down by free machine embroidery and a bit of hand embroidery. I didn't use any netting, and can't remember whether the base was fusible, but I think it must have been. I don't think the method had a particular name - it was in a UK Embroiderers Guild mag about 10 years ago before my quilting days!.
Its in the misc. section of my pictures (the one with the Llama bag).
