Quilt Block

If you have never tried painting on fabric. It is fun and with today's fabric paints, you can get wonderful results. Here is a quilt block painted on muslin. It is painted with DecoArt SoSoft fabric paints. These paints do not require any sort of heat setting and can be layered to achieve shading and highlighting for pretty detailed work. It dries in about 24 hours. Once dry, it is washable. I have used this paint on sweatshirts and have washed them many, many time with no loss of the painted design.

This block is part of a quilt painted by members of the Town and Country Decorative Painters and will be given away at the annual retreat in two weeks. It is a fund raiser to support the retreat.
