Maritime Wall Quilt

I have completed piecing the top and I like how it turned out. When I hung the quilt top on my design wall I was very happy to see the quilt top almost matched the line drawing. Now it is time to quilt the top and then add the embellishments.

My original line drawing design

Water and rings fused together
Checking to make sure the compass still fits.

Wall Quilt Progress

I am making progress with my wall quilt. I completed the water background and I like how it turned out. For the outer larger bronze ring I used a circle rubbing plate and Shiva Oil Paintstik to create the texture. Before I can fuse the bronze rings I need to let the Paintstik cure for 24 hours. Once the Paintstik is cured I will cut it to the correct size and fuse the background and rings together.


I have played with the Paintstiks before and did not like how it turned out.... lack of user knowledge. When I was at IQF I purchased the DVD Paintstik Inspirations! with Laura Murray and the book Paintstiks on Fabric by Shelly Stokes. Both the DVD and book are very good and showed many techniques. I will be using the Paintstiks again on other projects.

I am not sure what I will name this quilt. I am thinking "Maritime". I am open to ideas so let me know what you think?
