It's kind of like paint-by-numbers, except I don't have numbers and I'm only using 3 colours! I'm using
Tsukineko all-purpose inks applied with their
fantastix (not a brush).

I had to play around with the colours to get the correct 'orange'. When I first painted on the ink, I thought that it was too peach coloured, but now that it is dry I think it looks OK - any stitching will add another colour and dimension also.
I'm still thinking about how much quilting to do here. The size doesn't really allow for a lot.
The finished size of the quilt is to be 9" x 12" so this fits within an A4 sheet of paper. I'm thinking of doing a densely quilted background, which will make this 'pop' out.
