Blue moon is finished

At last Blue moon is finished. If I had only been working on this quilt, it would not have taken so long, but most of the time I am working on 3-5 quilts at the same time. This one started as a sunprint using acrylic paint in June. The moon needed some extra paintwork and finally the quilting. Here is the picture of the whole quilt, size 12"x24":

And here is a detail picture:

Blue moon

During June I created a number of sun prints. For this one I used a mixture of Lumiere textilepaint and Setacolor transparant. The white circle was created by ironing a piece of freezer paper on it. As you see, there was some leakage under the paper.

By adding a bit more blue/black I could cover part of the area, but not enough.

At the bottom and the left side that was okay for me, but I wanted a smoother line at the left side. So I added white paint to the circle.

Now I have started with the quilting. This will be a slow process as it actually a bit warm to quilt. My studio has a flat roof and the temperature in there can easily reach 80 degrees F. or higher.

Sometimes it is difficult to find a name for a quilt, but this one had its name from the beginning. It will be one of my circle quilts and the name will be Blue Moon.
