After beginning this text fabric art quilt in 2012,
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.
