Three Small Quilts



Hey Ma! Look at these - I've been spray-painting on old sheets to make three small quilts for the "old folks."

First, I tried maple leaves.
 

 

 

The middle one is done with poplar leaves, large-tooth aspen -
 and the end ones are made by spraying over spread-out gravel from the drive.





The smell of the spray-paint is awful but after a good washing, the fabrics were soft and sweet.




I put them together (all machine-stitched)
and, for the backing, used really old (but still good) fabric
from the 40's we found in the attic on High Street.
 





The Blue One
 





The Oak One




And The Triangle One



SO, what do you think? I can't wait to get my hands on some more old sheets.
and thank god for imperfectionism!
