PQ 17.1 Challenge A Clean Slate Thanks you Persimon Dreams! Kim and Trish I'm happy to join you in Season 17 of Project Quilting. "Cloud Dancer" and the idea of a "clean slate" was a tough first challenge. I got a new sewing machine for Christmas and I decided to give my decorative stiches a try. This was the first time that I've used negative space or the unquilted areas as the main focus of a quilt. The words look puffy like clouds. I'm happy with how my quilt came out. It's 10"x18". I used white fabric and high loft poly batting for this project. Washi tape was used to spell out the words "NO ICE". I quilted all around the tape creating the words in the negative space.
