I got started on my annual summer art quilt by choosing background fabric. This involves me tossing various art fabric pieces on the table and frowning at them for a while.
I finally settled on these two pieces, an eco-dyed green and a blue/orange/purple multi.
The first step was to edit the fabrics and trims I'd chosen to use, as I had way too much. This is what I ended up choosing to use, although I probably won't use everything.
I then sewed the background fabric pieces together with a strong vintage silk thread, as they're both a bit heavy.
I'm going to add all the fabric elements along with a bit of embroidery before I bat and back the quilt. Stay tuned to see my progress.
