Painted Blocks

I decided to paint some of the blocks from my Block of the Month quilt to add to my watercolor journal.  For the page on the left, I drew in pencil, painted the blocks, then top stitched the image using black thread in my sewing machine.  On the right, I drew in pencil, outlined in permanent ink then watercolored the squares.
I discovered that it was much easier sewing the original quilt than painting it!

  2. Loved your last watercolor class, and this one looks even more promising. Thank you for sharing.
