This quilt is a very long-term project. The applique is done, woohoo! In fact, the painting and colored pencils are done too! What was painted, you ask? Well, the stars seemed to blend into the background because the values were too close. So out came the Jacquard Lumiere paint and a flat tipped brush. Using a dry technique, the paint was put on the edge and pulled in toward the center of the star. Some turned out better than others.
Next up, is quilting and I will have to think on what I want to do with this. I am thinking just a simple straight line or grid, but I don't know yet. Do you believe I have been working on this since the end of June 2012?

ReplyDeleteWow Paula this quilt is stunning. I just can't stop looking at it. Great job. I think my favorite block is the gingerbread house.

ReplyDeleteHow fantastic!!! Thanks so much for sharing this at BOMs Away. I have this pattern and hope to get to it within two years. I'm impressed - I don't think I'll be able to finish mine in just one year. Love your star solution.
