I found this photo on Tumblr and it made me laugh out loud. Then it gave me an idea…for a new quilt. Of course, I really shouldn’t start another new project, but sometimes I just can’t help myself…I did promise myself that I would only work on this a few minutes a day, so it will take a while…
First, I started with a piece of hand dyed fabric that looks a little like a chalkboard. The size is approximately 20 x 26 inches.
Then, I spray basted the quilt sandwich using Sullivan’s Quilt Basting Spray. (Remember to give this time to dry before you start quilting — otherwise, your needle will get gummed up and start skipping stitches–I know from experience…)
Finally, I added a grid-rather randomly. I just wanted some vertical and horizontal lines to keep the doodles from become too angled. I think this would be too distracting in this already chaotic overall pattern.
and here is what I have so far….
I plan to add a few at a time as the spirit moves me…I think it will be the perfect little wall hanging…
