Five Maples Sunprint Art Quilt- 13x17

Description

"Five Maples" Wall Art Quilt Sunprint Series- 13"x17". Regular Price- $95.00

This Art Quilt for the wall features sunprints of five Maple leaves on fabric painted in shades of blue, green and rose. This piece is constructed with satin stitch piecing, and is bound with an ivory chenille yarn couched to the edges. An ivory cotton fabric with gold metallic specks separates the sunprints. The large maple leaf sunprints have pastel rubbings of the veins of the leaves, and are free motion quilted with clear thread. The ivory sections are quilted with a pastel variegated thread in a vine design.

This piece will add a lot of interest to any wall, and will look great in any season. It has a hanging sleeve on the back to make hanging easy.

As with the rest of my art quilts, this is a One-Of-A-Kind, as I can never exactly reproduce the fabrics I paint.

Sunprints are made by placing leaves, flowers, thin foam sheet cutouts (for butterflies or hummingbirds), and(or) any other flat items onto freshly painted cotton fabric, while the paint is still wet, and placed in the sun to dry. The combination of sun and humidity affect the speed at which the paint dries. If conditions are ideal, the color moves from under the leaves, flowers, or other items, resulting in the sunprint. No two can be the same, due to different drying conditions and paint color combinations. Every print is a unique original.
