For my quilt, I traced a design onto Tyvek fabric, then painted
the piece using the colors of paint I had with me in Florida!
Fortunately, I had a piece of painted background also with me that just
seemed perfect.
I spray basted the painted Tyvek onto the
background then free motion quilted the entire piece. After quilting, the
fun really began! This is where you take an iron or soldering iron to
your piece and burn away the painted areas! I like to use a soldering
iron for the edges of the Tyvek fabric but didn't bring mine with me so had to
rely on the iron.
I love painting and burning Tyvek, as you can see by a blog post I did in 2011. Hope everyone enjoyed this challenge and are getting ready for the next one!!!
it's gorgeous! love the burning, and the colors are so pretty, but i love those petals and swirls the best! nice job, well done!
