I like the feel of the paint sinking into the fabric. I water the paint down with my brush until I get just the right consistency; not so wet that it 'runs' but wet enough to become part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. The paint is just the first layer, the details are added with needle and thread, and my sewing machine. I always begin my quilts aiming for realism and end up with a slightly whimsical look instead. On this quilt, though, I am able to "Stay Focused".
