This is actually taken from a fabric that has Mickey on four different coloured backgrounds, but as is the whole point of focus cutting, I just took out the yellow ones to make this block. Secondly, Simba, This is not the only Lion King fabric that is going to feature in this month's round-up, my supply of yellows being somewhat limited. I like the circle effect that the faces make. Week 6 was obscure sections. I struggled a bit this week. I made two blocks with highly differing levels of obscurity. First up, another Lion King fabric: Look there's a cool greeny-blue ...
