GreenHouse Effect process

GreenHouse Effect process

Many asked for a process and even a pattern for my creative art quilt, Green House Effect.  It is an art quilt so not a pattern but I can share an overview of the process as I made it.  When making an art quilt it is important to remember that an original idea changes as techniques for completing portions need to be considered.  It is not a step by step pre-planned event for me.  It emerges.  Hopefully this will give you an idea to spark your own creative, wonky house project. Enjoy!

I started with a small sketch on a piece of scratch paper about 4 x 6 and then enlarged to 8.5 x 11 on my copy machine.  From there I enlarged with an overhead projector to the finished size I desired. I cut apart the pieces and used them as templates for the creation.

     

     

        

  This is how I finished with a faced back and pocket corners to insert a dowel for hanging.
