Playing with that awful premarked quilt

Remember in September last year how I quilted up that pre marked quilt top and said it didn't work because there was not enough definition between the grid and the motifs? Yesterday I started to colour it. Not a great job but it's too sticky today to do much so it's nice just sitting under a giant parasol and fiddling about. The kids who end up with it will not criticize my work and it will be a little less boring for them.

    what a great idea -- I think its turning out wonderfully -- and sounds like a great time filler when hot and sticky! :-)

    That's very pretty - and certainly adds interest and definition!

    Sally, it looks wonderful! What paints are you using? The color is very soft.

    I love the coloring you did on this quilt. Could you share more about how you did this? pencils? crayons?
