Painting a Red and White Quilt Block!

I have been an avid quilter for years, but never thought of painting a
quilt block till now!
My inspiration for this block came from Moda Modern Building Blocks pattern.
This block in the pattern is 30" x 30".


Mine would be 15 " x 15" complete.


So let's get started shall we.


Supplies:


16" x 20" Artist Canvas


Red craft paint


White craft paint


a ruler


a pencil


First I found the centre of my canvas and then measured 2 1/2 inches in on both sides


Knowing that my finished block would be 15" x 15" I started drawing out my pattern.


Each block measuring 2 1/2 inches


there would be 6 blocks across


and 6 blocks down.


Lightly I drew in my blocks so I would have a pattern to paint on.
Once my pattern was laid out I started painting in the red blocks first.


The once dry I filled in the white.


Lots of patience and determination on my part.


The rest of the canvas I painted white.
For a detailed account on how I painted this be sure to stop by!
Enjoyed the project?
