PAPER QUILT FOR OUR CHALLENGE


Here is my paper quilt for our challenge with
Sandyhttp://smarcoux.blogspot.com/
Suzannehttp://fromthecornersofmymind.blogspot.com/
Luci http://loocheeta.blogspot.com/.
I used the theme of my new life style.
I used a pic on the CD I'm dancing to Jody Watley.
I made some cloth with scrim and rice paper.
I painted on top the ones with the silver marks on it.
Some beautiful material I picked up in England (fat quarters)
I use some of my rust for the background and used
paper for the border. I haven't put a rod pocket on it yet..
I love how it turned out and I'm finally getting
used to my sewing machine :):):)

Great colours indeedy you know I love the rust pieces .. I almost used that for my piece, the one you did for me with the rusted circles.... but figured it was to much fabric and you girls wanted me to do paper LOL.
well done
