Turning to fabric

The paper quilt is progressing along quite well, still been thinking about the border. But I started to think that it would be a great cushion cover. Thus I have been working on creating something simular in fabric. First I looked at coluring the fabric.


The fabric takes a lot longer to dry than paper. Taped the pieces to the windows to stop the cat 'helping' by sitting the wet paint !!

Next how to get the text on the fabric. Started to look at the different pens. Using a small samples of the painted fabric I tried one or two different ones. I liked the look of the handwriting. Then made this small sample to see how it looked !
What do you think?? I really like the look of the text. The hand writing gives a great feel.
A little close up of one corner.

So what of the pper quilt ?? Well I am hoping to reach a point where I can send it off to QA =)
