Patchwork painting

I thought it might be fun to paint a big version of a tiny detail from a book I have on nineteenth century American quilts.  I find it really enjoyable to paint textiles -- both fabrics and knitting -- and I am always happy with the results.  Maybe it's the start of a new career....

nice! I used to paint alot a few years ago... When we were in Crete I saw a beautiful handmade rug on a stone wall and it inspired me to do textile-like paintings full of patterns and colours. I wouldn't do that now if I painted again but love looking at it!

Enjoy!
