kusmaulk Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 This was made using some of my hand dyed fabs and some border prints I purchased in Paris three summers ago. Had a little problem with bleeding on the first wash, but it was resolved on the second. (Used Synthropol and 2 color catchers both washes, but the second wash was at a laundromat in a large capacity washer.) Now I'm going to repaint the walls in my bedroom!!

kusmaulk Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Joan, the red rectangles were LARGE. So were the blue ones. In the blue, I did feathers. I divided the red into rows that lined up with the neighboring star blocks. Then divided the rows into four equal sections. Then, I got some paper and doodled until I came up with something I liked. Was kind of going for architectural type motifs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
