Your McTavishing looks gorgeous! I need to practice a lot more before even thinking of trying that.
Thank you! I took a class at a LQS (mostly just to force myself to give me time to practice- I had already done a lot of sketching, so the class didn't really teach anything new) and after the 2 hour class we were told "go quilt something real!" They really discouraged spending all your time on practice blocks.
A project like this was good, because if it turned out amazing, I was really happy, but it was kind of a practice at a new technique anyway, because I couldn't ruin something I'd spent months on. Painting just took a day or so.

Beautiful job, really makes your calla lily come alive! I read their ads for the classes but haven't taken any. May have to try the painted quilt class.
