My Quilting Arts Article on Backgrounds!

Great news!   I’ve got a new article in Quilting Arts, in the August-September issue.  I’m dashing out the door momentarily to Maine Quilts (I helped with set-up on Weds., you may have seen a picture if you’re on FaceBook), and today I get to help with Appraisals for a couple hours.  Looking forward to learning!  BUT in the meantime, WOOOHOOOO, my article on “What a Difference the Background Makes” is in this issue:

The August-September Issue of Quilting Arts has my new article on choosing backgrounds.

Here’s the first two pages of the article (I blurred the text since QA has the copyright).  Issues should be on stands now or soon; if you live somewhere that you can’t get a paper copy, the issue is available by digital download from Quilting Arts/Interweave, here.

My new article on backgrounds.  Thanks to my friend Pat D. for suggesting I propose this to QA!  You rock, Pat!

I did up a second version of the quiltlet on the right, but gotta run so will share that in the next day or two.  If you’d like to see how I applied this process to a recent larger quilt, Mr. Wiggles Does the Circle Dance, check out this blogpost from earlier this summer.

    Congrats Sarah on another article! I’m very interested in the very subject but I haven’t had a chance to look at my issue yet-I’ll be saving it for Long Beach.

    Hi Sarah, congradulations on being published again. I also think the background is important in a quilt. Sometimes I do use white but I love using different fabrics to enhance what I’m doing.

    Congrats, Sarah Ann! I must pick up this issue; I also think interesting backgrounds can totally make or break a piece. Love your puggy dog face under the dish.
