Chevron... not the gas station.

Chevron stripes, zig-zags... whatever you want to call them. That is the current challenge over at the MoxieFabWorld Blog.

This project was swimming around in my head as I pondered chevron stripes... taking a stripped paper and cutting it diagonally and then flipping every other one. Worked out pretty cool. The stitching served as a joining element... I found that the stripes did not match "perfectly", so the stitching is both pretty and functional.

The ink on the greeting and the brads match the stripes...
