| For the Art Box CSA Project, I made nine house quilts that measured 8x8 using a foundation of black wool blended felt...you know the 'Rebel' way! They were all made with Hoffman Batiks, commercial cottons and some hand-dyed pieces, and Mistyfused. Go to the website to see all of the amazing artwork by eight artists here |
 |
| I am using red wool blended felt for the backing, because it is a nice complimentary color to the artwork. |
 |
| Free motion quilting the landscaping, even zig zagging, because it is just fun! |
 |
| This is the back after free motion machine quilting! |
 |
| and here is how it looks on the front! |
 |
| I painted the 1-1/2" sides, black - a couple of coats. The small quilts were hand sewn in the upper portions of the quilt to the canvas in two places with matching thread. |

| How cool is this? You can buy a full box of 8 different pieces, or a half box with 4 different pieces. The scoop is on the website http://artboxcsa.com/Home.html |
It was fun to see your progress and I like the idea of felt for the backing, makes a nice solid base and easy to stitch through.
