I tried something new for me with this one. First I drew the design on white Swiss Batiste, then I sandwiched and quilted all the lines. Next I painted the whole cloth using acrylic and metallic paints. It took forever!
The quilt measures 14"x24".

This may have taken forever, but it is SO worth the effort. This is a beautiful abstract and ought to become the start of a series, IMHO.
Amazing, Cherie. How did you keep the paint from bleeding into the next area? What kind of paint? The effect is wonderful....
Cherie, you must have a very steady hand to paint such detail! The effect is super and gives the look of Bargello. It almost looks folded or pleated. A truly beautiful piece, nice work!
This is a beautiful piece. You said you painted the lines but it looks like tucks or sewn strips. Very nice effect.
Thanks all for your coments.
Wendy, I used Jaquard Lumiere and Tulip Ultra Soft metallics (5 different colors), Setacolor, DecoArt So Soft and Apple Barrel acrylic.
I love painting fabric and have done a fair amount of it, but this is the first time I've quilted it first. My hand is not all that steady anymore though, so if I do it again, maybe not such thin straight lines...haaa

LOL...Cynthia, you and this group are partly to blame for my craziness that's for sure! I have tried so many new techniques and learned so very much from all the talent and critiques over the last 3 plus years. Many thanks to all!!!

This looks like a bamboo sushi mat to me! What is stairstep twinning? Absolutely gorgeous piece. I admire your dedication - well worth it.
All I can say is "WOW"

Wow - that sums it up.
Wonderful! Definitely worth all of your time.
Cherie, this is amazing!! I have studied it and I was sure it was pleated!!
Great piece!
I love the color combinations you used in this piece and all that paint work is stunning
I clicked to comment and see that I just agree with everyone else. I'll add that as a newbie to the group, I'm delighted to see you attribute your growth to three years of participation. This piece plus that comment are truly inspirational!
