I did some stamping on fabric while working on my little quilt top. I used a background stamp (Worn- SU) and a dark red permanent ink pad to add a bit of texture to my fabric. I stamped the strips I had cut for the border. Worked very well! I let them dry then ironed them on high to heat set the colour. I really liked how the texture on the fabric worked with the other fabrics.
I started the quilt top with a panel of 2" squares which was already pieced. I received it in a bag of fabric scraps last summer. After cutting and stamping my fabric I added a red border around the panel. I added a strip of gold fabric which I pieced using coordinating fabrics and then added another strip of red which created the proportions I wanted for my quilt. Next, I cut strips of the golden palm tree fabric and stitched them all the way around. I really like how it worked out. I have put it away and am not sure when it will get finished. I have garden coming in and am looking forward to a trip to go blueberry picking!!
