Quilting with paint? Crazy!

In the 1880's or so - women made "crazy quilts" out of scraps of fabric.
Crazy because there was not a defined pattern.

I was thinking of squares and rectangles and got busy with that idea.

These were some scrap pieces of canvas.  I liked what happened and decided to go "BIG."

That was so much fun, I had to do another one!

Now.
For the fun part!

Stand back!  
I am on a roll....

I am ready for a New Year of creating!

These were so fun to make and they reminded me in an odd way of oriental carpets.
So I am going to make one as a bigger floor cloth!

I had the flu and it seemed to have sucked the painting joy right out of me.

Tried something a little different..

Used the Jackson Pollock app on my iphone to make a pic of my
favorite cat.

This was interesting - then I ruined it by trying to spray paint an abstract fence along the bottom.
It will reincarnate into something else...
