Love your quilt. I remeber ball point paint back in the 70's. Will you tell us where you got patterns? I think you can buy the paints today at craft stores.great work you earn that Blue Ribbon.

Great job, glad to see the blocks finished. I have several sets of different designs to do "someday". and some like yours that aren't put together yet. You have been a great inspiration for me to get busy. Also sold TriChem for 15 years. The new stuff they have is great but expensive. Your friend deserves kudos for getting you to share pictures.

There was no pattern. Along with the liquid paints, they also sold different things that had a design printed on them (sort of like paint-by-number). Then you just painted them with the paints. They had several different designs for quilt blocks, table runners, pictures for your wall etc. So, sorry, there is no patten. You might try children's coloring books though for cute designs and then you could use applique to do them up into quilt blocks. Just an idea.

That's the best job I've ever seen of coloring with a TriChem type pen! Beautiful work! Do they even make those pens anymore? I thought they were fun!
