Painted Roses quilt
 

I grabbed a rectangle of fabric left over from another painted quilt to demonstrate painting for my local quilt show. That was a year and a half ago. I didn't have enough of the background to do the border so I did a small green border and a striped border. It looked crafty. I ripped it off. I now had a working title of "Frog Quilt" . It continued. I found a spot of something as I quilted on the last new border, also left over fabric. It came off. I think it was old tape. Then as I was taking it off the machine, I discovered a small black area, the size of a small tag as if the glue had attracted or picked up something. This was on the backing. Definitely a frog quilt.i

It is painted with So Soft fabric paint. There was no time to prewash, but the paint has cured. It will wash beautifully.

The oval is actually a stained glass pattern from a Dover book. The quilting in the main body of the quilt is intertwined flurry feathers. The oval has yellow thread while the background has eggshell to help the oval show up better. It is hot off the machine and not bound yet.

Oh my, that is so pretty!

Stunning work, it looks so elegant! Would love to try the painting someday.

I have always loved those Dover books and wondered about using them for quilting motifs but haven't as yet tried. Clearly it works well!! Your roses are lovely. The addiition of paints opens so many new possibilities. What kind did you use? Your quilt is so very pretty.
