I printed the pictures using Electric Quilt Printables-Cotton Lawn Fabric Sheets. I pulled out some batiks and handpainted fabric and played around with simple placements that included some piecing and applique.
It was a blast to see what each picture could suggest, I kept the designs simple and let the photos speak. Instead of making traditional little quilts I fused the pieced fabrics and pictures onto fusible stiff interfacing, Fast 2 Fuse. I also zig zagged around the edges, so they were easy to make and little fuss.
I think these would make great gifts and they could be a good project for a group....better get busy and amke some more!
They're lovely, Susan. Of course they're all built around great photos, which would be a must. Congratulations on your show.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the opposite "positive/negative" effects you have going on in the first two landscapes. They'd look great hung side-by-side
Those are wonderful and look like such fun to make too! =(^_^)=
