Technique of the Week – Week 11 – Painted Batting

yr4week11

This week’s Technique of the Week is inspired by an episode of Quilting Arts AND a good friend, Judy Coates Perez!  Judy demoed this technique on the show and it’s super fun.

Skill Level: Beginner
Time Commitment: Weekend
Cost: Under $10 (especially if you use scraps!)

I got the lovely shades of green in this piece by wetting the batting first and then mushing yellow and blue around on the piece til I got the saturation I wanted.  Then I let this DRY DRY DRY.  That’s why this is a weekend project!  Then I stamped over it with the stamp you see in the video.  This is LOTS of fun so give it a try.  And be sure to checkout my friend Judy’s website too!
