I have gotten behind on posting on the blog. Mostly "life has gotten in the way" and I don't have a lot new to show. Nothing bad has happened. I have been doing some cleaning and decluttering around my home/studio. I have dyed a bit of fabric, but no photos to show for it.
My last finish on an art quilt was to add a facing rather than a binding. I used the tutorial by Robbi Joy Eklow found here. My quilt was already trimmed so I lost a little bit of the edges in the process but it isn't noticeable. I even hand stitched the facing on the back.
I also did "random acts of fusing" using pre-fused scraps to cover the back which was a bit messy due to all the threadwork I did on the front.
I put the circles on to echo the design on the front. Here is the final finish on Garden Path.

love the colors and the process!
Very nice and so colorfully Gene-ish . Did I read that right, you actually did some hand-stitching?!
It looks terrific, a nice original design and wonderful color.
I really love this art quilt - the colors and design call out to me. Super fun "fix" on the back with the fused-on pieces. I can see a person in there. . . :D
I love that quilt, so bright, cheerful and spring like. I don't understand the facing instruction though. 2 1/2"? Why not just call it binding?
Love it Gene
