Zentangle Quilt preview....

Zentangle--a meditative type of doodling, ususally done in black and white, using repetitive shapes inside of a constrained space....at least that is what I think it is!!  Check out the official Zentangle website for a better definition...Zentangles are usually done with pen and paper....but I figured that anything that could be done on paper could be done with fabric.  So here it is...my Zentangle wall quilt.  It still needs binding, and a hanging sleeve, and some other details, but this is what I have so far....


I'm writing a tutorial on it, though it isn't that difficult to figure out.  I also have a couple of other ideas for Zentangle quilts....I'll let you know when I have it done and there is a final picture.  ;-)  Off to do some binding and watch "Salt"....Happy Quilting!

  2. I have never seen one of these before, but I love the fluidity and motion that it has.

    I would love a tutorial for this!

    Sorry you couldn't find the comment place in my new blog. It is a self-hosted WordPress blog and it is very different from Blogger. If you click on the title of the article, it should take you to a page with only that article on it and the comment ability. I sure hope that works! Let me know if you have more problems with it.
