My grandson's handprints-Zentangled
 

The name of this quilt is "Coop Entangled" It was a birthday gift for my son and I finished it yesterday. Just a month and a few days after his birthday. I copied Coopers hands on the copy machine, traced them to the center of the fabric and did some Tangle designs in them. The background is lots of black and white prints which are bordered with a fusible black bias. The design behind Coopers hands is another Tangle design. I printed a grid of dots with a fabric marker and then connected the dots by quilting with black thread. This was fun to do and my son and his wife love it!!

That is very cool!

breezyquilts, this is just so beautiful. Love how you did the hands and the fabrics you chose look like tangle patterns too. Love how you did that netting pattern behind the hands as well Did you tangle the hands with a fabric pen or is it free motion sewing? Good work! I just love to tangle too both on paper and fabric.

That is so neat.

Hi Mrs B, I did tangle the hands with a fabric pen. Once the hands were all done, I did go around them with thread and did a tiny bit of quilting along the lines of his hands!! I am just learning the tangle art and it is so much fun!!

How unique & beautiful! Very creative!

Yes, yes, & more yes! I'm not familiar with tangling (except in my hair -- LOL!) but I LOVE this quilt! Wow!

I love this. It is so very interesting and amazing. I know nothing about tangling but will be looking it up. You did a great job!

I love it!! You did some great inovative ideas on this one! Way to go!

What a great idea and your work is just beautiful!! What a wonderful gift.

Wow! I'm constantly just floored, by the talent on this board!!! Beautiful!!!

Please explain the term tangled designs. I am not familiar with this. I really do like it.

That is sooooooo cool!! For someone who is just learning tangles...I'd say you have it mastered!! Wow!!

A fantastic quilt!!! What a great gift :)

That is reallt good! I wish I could think of stuff like that. I am really good at doing, but have so much trouble making my own designs.

Great idea!

OMGoodness...............what a darling quilt, with your grand son's hand prints in the center. I am sure that your son will be really thrilled with this thoughtful gift!!

Great idea. Very clever and it looks great

Zentangle is the art of drawing repetitive patterns one stroke at a time. A tangle is one pattern.

So very interesting.........love the Zen tangle work.

What a beautiful work of "art". They are sure to cherish that for years to come.

Hi Billy, if you look up Zentangle you will find a lot of information on the tangle designs. This is a quote from Linda Farmer, "Zentangle is an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns called tangles". It is fun and relaxing!!

That is awesome.

What a wonderful quilt. Love the zentangles!

I am in awe. I bought the Zen Quilting Workbook by Pat Ferguson, but have only practiced on paper. I have been searching the internet for black and white fat quarters that resemble tangle designs

This is Awesome!

AWESOME - the concept, everything. I love it!

Totally cool!

Great gift, lovely work!

AWESOME!!! Wonderful idea :)

What a great idea!!! Love it!

I never heard of tangle art designs, but I must say I like this very much. It really holds ones interest and I want to learn more about it. I can well understand why your family loves it...it is wonderful.

I love this quilt! I do not know the tangle thing YET...but I will...thanks!!!

Wow, that is very special, well done.

This is one of the neatest quilts I have ever seen! Beautiful!

Fabulous work. There's always something else to learn, never heard of tangling before, now on my to do list!
