Applique/Art Quilt
Hiya All,
Procrastination is over and inspiration has finally hit again, I am now in the initial planning stage of an art/appliqué Mermaid and Merman wall hanging, something I've not done before. Rather than a square bed size I'm wanting to make it long and narrow to hang on the wall above the staircase.
I could really do with some advice before committing to one section regarding the tail fin-fluke of the merman as I would like it to hang off, or jut out off the edge of the quilt and wondered if this was possible. Has anyone made a quilt with this appliqué process and how did you back and bind it?
Also, I would like to use my fabric paints on the skin, but have found that I'm being too heavy handed with the brushes. I need something softer to make the shading more delicate when applying the paint.
Any advice and suggestions would be really appreciated.
Joanne
