Thank you!! I used Jaquard Lumiere paints (for fabrics or other surfaces - it is acrylic based). You can heat set it for washing but because this is more of an art quilt I won't bother...it isn't to be washed. :)

Thank you for such kind words!! Truly - they make my day!! :)

Thank you so very much!! I sure will keep on sharing! My free time has been limited while my kids are home from school for the summer...and soccer is starting up soon! GAH! ;)

Very beautiful

That is awesome!! So gorgeous!!!

Absolutely beautiful and eye catching quilt!

So pretty! I was oohing and awing over a painted quilt in blog land-it had sequins sewn onto it as well....I love your piece!

Great piece of art! Love the colors

Thank you all for your kind words!!

Oh now you've given me great ideas!! Maybe this needs some sparkley sequins or beads! ;)

You did a beautiful job on this little piece. You should make some bigger ones. :thumbup:

Really love it! Definitely isn't a country quilt, is it? ;)

I think your idea of adding sequins or beads -- or crystals!!! -- will really look cool! How are you going to bind/finish it? Rat tail?

You've definitely inspired me to fit in some time for my own personal project. I love ink & have been working with InkTense for customers but am thinking about trying some Tsukinenko inks to get a richer color, but maybe I'll have to try some of the Jaquard paints as well! I went to the quilt museum at Liberty Square in San Diego while vacationing there 2 weeks ago & the featured artist there used Jaquard & it was every bit as lovely as yours (on a much larger scale). Wish I could've taken pictures, but I get why it wasn't allowed. Next time I visit a quilt museum I'm definitely bringing my sketchbook!

Congrats on squeezing in a bit of time for fun quilting & thanks for sharing the pic of your work!

That's a good a reason a any to need to sew, but OH WHAT SEWING!
