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:
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.
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.
