Quilt Top Paper

I love the orange and purples in this quilt. I am thinking thirties fabric.

I bet this was someone's sundress incorporated into this quilt top.

When I see this fabric I am thinking a big swishy style skirt with a waist band.

I love the blues in this. They look almost like wood block prints.

Lately I have been fascinated with making my own paper. Not the shred, blend, and pulp, but dry paper. I have been photocopying paper strips for borders, cutting up old projects and copying them, journal pages etc. Then it occurred to me to use fabric.

The light bulb went off. I have all of these beautiful quilts, quilt squares, and quilt tops. Now every time I go to the copy place I take a few with me. I usually copy them using the biggest size of paper I can. They copy beautifully. The colors and patterns are gorgeous. I am using the papers to make journal covers, cover boxes, use as liners for boxes, cut up in my journals etc...
Here are a couple for you to use in your art.
