After beginning this text fabric art quilt in 2012,
You can read about it’s making here
and finishing it in 2018,
I’ve had lots of ink jet printed text fabric pieces still lingering in a small storage drawer.
It is time to make them more useful.
I scanned scrapbook papers and purchased printed works from the internet then printed them onto fabric with my ink jet printer.
Inspiration for this project came from a birthday gift magazine titled “UPPERCASE”. Paper crafted projects are often my inspiration for fabric projects.
I cut the printed fabrics into squares.
I stitched a 1/4” sashing between the squares.
This small quilt measures 39” X 51”
Just the right size for a car quilt.
The border and binding fabrics are purchased (not ink jet printed).
Yes, of course there are still scraps of these printed fabric pieces.
I decided a car quilt needs a car pillow.
I cut squares at 1-1/2” and tacked them to a foundation fabric and just quilted the piece with raw edges.
I used a 14” pillow form.
A piece of Tim Holtz fabric on the back.
