A New Dying Process

Remember that ugly exercise that I’ve been considering? This is the portion of my ugly painted which I selected as my inspiration for a small quilt. I played around with the individual elements in the computer and, at one point, accidentally colored the background red. Which I liked! So, I started pulling fabrics and got…
