I must admit that after spending over 200 hours quilting this, I am a little nervous about my plan to use a wet technique for color. But it worked very well on my small test pieces so I will stick with the plan. Wish me luck!

This is so inspiring Deb- the back as much as the front. I can't wait to see it painted.
