This is based on the Blocks & Stripes quilt by Ashley at Film in the Fridge. When I read through her tutorial, I saw that she had laid her fabrics out on white and I loved that look. I intend to make this using Heather Ross/Munki fabrics in a larger size, but while waiting for more solids to arrive in my mail box I used scraps to make this little 20" x 30" quilt. The proportions won't be exactly the same on the larger one, but it gives me some idea of what the finished quilt will look like.
I was back at the Benjamin Moore paint store and noticed these 18"x18" paint samples. Many color choices and would make nice walls for playscale dioramas. They are thin so they would need to be double face taped to foam core. Just love all of the color options.
I still love mat board best for dioramas. I get one big sheet in the framing dept of Michael's with a 60% off framing coupon (so about $12). Then, I cut it in half for 2 giant walls in the color of your choice. I need to get one for a diorama I'm hoping to do at some point.
By the way, Benjamin Moore is the best paint I've used. Does not drip and awesome coverage. Expensive though - $51 for a gallon. It washes well, too. I usually use pearl finish, but I'm going to try eggshell for my next set of rooms - a little less sheen. Pearl is great for high traffic rooms because it is so washable.
Sweet pea and her sister-in-law sampling flavored moonshine. Ole Smoky Moonshine opened for business in July of 2010. I think they did 50,000 cases that year. This year they expect to produce 900,000 cases. Quite a success story.
