Acrylic Inks on Fabric

Here are some quilt blocks I painted with the acrylic inks, Liquitex brand. They are part of a not yet completed quit. The designs came from a book by Don Linn. I'll post the completed quilt once its finished. The color palette is just 4 colors, sap green, yellow, orange, & magenta. The inks leave the fabric soft enough to sew on & it dries quickly. The only time it bleeds is when two areas side by side are wet or if too much water is used either in the colors or in the brush. I do like these inks & hope to use them in a more painterly fashion in future projects. They are available from Dick Blick in lots of colors. I happen to find mine at the local Hobby Lobby.
