Product Description

"Blue Framed Fern and Flowers Sunprint" Art Quilt for framing 11"x14".

A sunprint of Fern leaves, Daisy flowers, and a butterfly on fabric painted green to blue. The sunprint is bordered by a white fabric, and followed by a medium blue painted and salt patterned fabric. The piece is bound with blue yarn on the edges. Freemotion quilting accents the sunprint, and borders are quilted with a vinelike pattern.

This will make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to be surrounded by nature. Mini quilts are sized for standard size frames, they can be mounted to artist canvas, or even displayed as they are.

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

Sunprints are are a way of using my gardens in my art. They are made by placing leaves, flowers, and(or) thin foam sheet cutouts (for butterflies or hummingbirds) onto freshly painted cotton fabric, while the paint is still wet, and placed in the sun to dry. The combination of sun and humidity affect the speed at which the paint dries. If conditions are ideal, the color moves from under the leaf or flower, resulting in the sunprint. No two can be the same, due to different drying conditions and paint color combinations. Every print is a unique original.

Materials Used

cotton fabric, paint, thread, batting
