I think it was two years ago that I carved these printing blocks and started a series of quilts made with prints in this style. That series was done in blues and gold.
Red is the accent color in my living room, and I would like to do at least one piece in this series in red. I would like it to be LARGE.
So, I dug through my scrap drawer looking for good backgrounds for red prints. I thought I would try some rust dyed fabrics, and some hand dyed fabrics.
This one (below) is a commercial print that has been rusted and overdyed.
I printed using every shade of red that I have on the shelf. Vermilion, China Red, Oriental Red, Cherry Red, Scarlet, Burgundy, and I added Black.
