What kind of pencils? What is the process? Do you do the artwork before putting it together? Can this quilt be washed? You really need to have some sort of idea of the finish look you want in order to have enough white space to fill in I had roughly drawn out a quarter section on paper to check the fit before trimming, so I can add the border. Complete the top as usual and layer with a heavy cotton batt. Spray baste with 505. I then used a washaway marker to draw the circle base for the wreath, circles for the flowers, swirls for the ribbons. Get out a collection of thread that work with the fabrics and start quilting the shapes. When complete spray with water and block, leave to dry. Trim square, add the binding. Color in with pencils, paint over colored areas with fabric medium. You can wash it gently For more info get Irena Bluhm's Quilts of a Different Color book I also have this colored wall hanging posted too http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-56393-1.htm |

Beautiful! I really like the contrast between the soft flowers and the fabric in the star. Don't think I would have thought of that. You do wonderful work.

Wow. Just gorgeous!

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I also loved my visit to Nova Scotia a few years ago.

Ken...Thank you so much. I'll try this technique. I suspect I have those colored pencils already! Really beautiful.
Just went back and looked at your earlier flower vase...I have to by that book! Thanks again. |
Absolutely breathtaking, gorgeous!
