After fooling around with Setacolor for the first time on both wet and dry fabric, I was confident it would do what I wanted here and bring that wretched (sorry Deb) RED under control . This is probably not included in the instructions but I've been painting a section, watching it for "creep" and when I'm satisfied with how it looks, hitting with a hot iron to set the paint. To fend off boredom induced sloppiness, I'll stop painting and switch to machine stitching but twice I've had to stop and pick out a mess of stitching because I wasn't happy with a too-casual color choice. Baby steps with this one - it's still a cliff-hanger.

This piece is frakin' fabulous!! And I would not call that wretched color RED. Red is fabulous. The wretched color is either way too tomato-ey or way too pink.
I'm liking what I'm seeing. I think this maybe your best piece yet.
thanks Chica - it's a middle red that leans to pink too often. The transparent greenish yellow that I am putting over it is doing the job.
RED does tend to be a bit of a rebel in the ol' spectrum, but this piece looks wonderful!
Your color choices are fabulous! what a nice mix of complimentaries. This quilt is stunning and heading straight for Awsome!
Love your work - thanks for sharing - you have given me inspiration for some of those horrible bits
I went over to your WIP for a look. I love the way you slowly but surely put the LIFE in this piece!
Gorgeous! I love your resist design. I'm going to order your studio scrap goodie bags and I want 5!
