Making an art quilt

by Cyndi on November 6th, 2007

Technique Tuesday!

The quilt that I shared with you yesterday, September Morning, is very similar to one I did awhile back called My Heart. The techniques are identical, except that I didn’t dye any of the fabrics other than the organza and the lace. Fortunately for me, I had some stained materials left over from the last quilt, so I just used those. The directions can be found here: Making an art quilt

Even though this quilt is much more colorful than the last, it still gives the effect of being monochromatic, with the addition of the neutral creams. The leaves were cut from a lucky fabric find from about 12 years ago. No, we don’t throw stuff out in my business :-)
