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.

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!
