You know that every once in a while i get a wild hair.....well, ok.....a lot.....we crazy people do weird things. i have a button that says "doing strange things in the name of art". Well....that's what this is. LOL
Last year....or maybe the one before that.....i decided i needed to make a quilt out of shiny, colored candy papers. so, in the name of research, i went through various bags of candy to find the best kind of papers. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups won out. by the way, eating them frozen is the only way to go. hahahaha
Here's what i made. it's about 18" x 21". 12 little shiny stars. i paper pieced the stars. found out you can't iron these....the shine comes off the papers.
Can you see where it says Reese's on it?
It turned out cute. since the stars are paper, they are coming up a bit where i stitched over them twice. i will put a bit of glue under there to seal them down.
I had this wild print that i thought worked well for the back and binding. took just a few minutes to quilt it up. it will sit out on a table somewhere....or perhaps get pinned up on a wall.
Just an experiment to see if i could do it and how it would turn out.
Let's see what wild notion i get next.
LOL
