I like the tea dye idea.

I use the peep-hole, too. My kids love to take pictures, so my camera isn't always easily found. But that wonderful peep-hole never grows legs!

Okay. Now I understand. Paint or crayon wouldn't work on that. If you try the tea, send another picture please. You did beautiful work on the quilt. I'm amazed at what you did in a short amount of time.

Jan, that is beautiful. I love it. Okay you can just send it to me and I'll give it a good home :thumbup:

Oh Jan, I'm so sorry. I'd be disappointed too.

My painting teacher told me it's called "using the 10 foot rule."
Sorry you are so disappointed.

JMAbby...only a Cairn owner knows! LOL...our SaraLee (Cairn) does the funniest things!

Binoculars held the wrong way round can give the same effect. I'm happy that I have my digital camera - it's really an advantage we have over women who quilted in the past. I often take pictures of different colour arrangements or setting options, thus I can compare different arrangements.

Edited to add, that I forgot to mention that I like the quilt and would follow up on the tea dye idea. I hope you will show us the result if you try it.

Ohhhh, I'm so sad for you. That's a good lesson learned for all of us. I hope I remember it in the future, :cry:

Young Man's Fancy, I'd know that pattern anywhere. Tea dye it. At this point you can only learn from it. Personally, I like it as is.

Tried tea dying some scraps; don't think I'll do it. The "pink" was toned down nicely and I like that but it covered the white stars in the navy fabric.
Solution: I scrunched it up and draped it over a chair arm. You guys rock: thanks for the suggestions and compliments.
If I helped one person "step away" and avoid this happening, it was worth it!
