And Then I Threw Paint on It
I got this far on my current quilt, before I knew it needed something more.
Clearly, the white needed some texture. So, I decided to fling some paint onto it!
I practiced first on a piece of muslin, then I just went for it.
Amazingly, I did this without any fear! I was READY to break things up and to add some interest.
Doesn’t it look better?
After that I considered it finished and began quilting it. My initial idea was to stitch around each little drop of black paint. And I actually stuck with it until I got to the very edges.
But, wait. Is it really finished it? After my post on August 4th, I got some very good comments and suggestions from you readers. I decided to reconsider a few things and to audition some changes. I’ll show you those in the next post.

A very effective…and brave!…way to fix the white problem!
Thanks, Sunnie!
Yes! Love the “without fear” additions!
Go for it. On the edge of my seat…
Ellen, where and when do SAQA meet? Or, do I find a local group in Orlando, and send dues to the national office. Sorry, I can’t seem to find the info online. By the way thanks for keeping me plugged in to art quilts by way of your journey. I do enjoy your process pictures via email. I am a costume designer & weaver.
