Get the Perfect Color by Overpainting Fabrics

I received an interesting comment to yesterday's post about overpainting fabric. Apparently, not everyone does this?? I often use this technique as an easy solution to finding just the right fabric when nothing in my stash will do. I've also used paint to enhance the chroma of a color. Try it - it's not only great fun, but will give you fabrics not everyone else has.

Below are two quilts for which I overpainted existing black on white prints. Click on images for a larger view.
