Finished! I love how it came out
Wrapped around a canvas
The back. Wanted to cover up the staples so glued down some ribbon
I’ve only done the wrapped canvas thing once a long time ago and don’t remember much about it and was concerned about the thickness of the batting and 3layers but I use a really thin batting in mostly everything and it was no trouble at all. I just had to cut out a little on each corner and it came out fine. Not being a very good planner there wasn’t enough to wrap around the top and bottom so I added some fabric the same colors a nd it seemed to work. I should do the canvas again. I really like the look and it’s so easy to hang.Have you ever put one of your quilts on a canvas or stretcher bars?
Your Downey is beautiful. I like the way the piece looks on canvas too. Great idea!

Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is wonderful! I love the detail. I appreciate you showing the back and mounting technique. I usually attach my small art quilts to the face of a canvas (or panel)using artist gel medium - it's a different look for sure. I found you via Nina-Marie's Creations... and I'm happy I did! I'm at fiberdesignsbyann.com
ReplyDeleteThis guy is great! (I love my downeys at the feeder.) No, I've never put a quilt on a canvas, but this looks great.
ReplyDeletethis is one of your best yet! I need to find that article about gallery wrapped canvas pieces and send it to you.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you quilted it, especially the feathers on the face where the wispy bits flow into the black. I have mounted small quilts onto canvas frames, but never the whole quilt wrapped around. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery well done, your FMQ makes it.
