July Monthly Mini Quilt(s)

7/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Happy  first wednesday of the month and wow where did June go?  My month of June went to long arm quilting, family visits,  teaching and of course domestic engineering!

It is time for a monthly mini quilt and today I will talk about 2 of my recent minis.  These minis are different but also similar.  I am featuring 2 mini quilts this month because of their similarities, they are free motion outline quilted and coloured but with 2 different types of colouring tools. The first of the two quilts is a sun flower coloured with my "Crayon Appliqué" technique.  Check out this technique here .  The second of the two quilts was an experiment to wrap my mind around and practise what I call "zen doodle quilting" .   I am not sure if it called something else but it was "Zen" to draw it, outline it and colour it, so hence the name.    

​Have I got your curiosity?  

Check out the pictures below:

These projects were quick to do and a fun way to explore colour marking options.
The sky is the limit with what you can do if you can free motion outline a design!  
​Special thanks to my friend Marg for helping me wrap my mind around this technique and spending a day exploring it with me!
