QUILTS AND PATTERNS, IN COLOR PEN



I decided to try something colorful today.  My mom-in-law is a quilter, and I was looking at some of the beautiful fabrics that she has used, and was excited by the combination of patterns and colors.  I decided to make up my own patterns, and 'sew' my own quilt (I am horrible with a needle and thread).  I actually learned a lot about layering in the plaid pattern.  I didn't realize there was so many lines that layered and made new colors with the crossing of lines.  This was fun, and I think could lead me to a series of paintings.  Funny the things that inspire you, isn't it?
