Playing with paint

OK, here's a shot of the quilt I started yesterday; finished piecing today.

 Now, I'm experimenting with ways that I can possibly add the sandpipers.

Here's my first try -- traced onto 'sand' fabric with a brown pigma pen and then painted with Jacquard textile paints.

 Did you know that if you mix Russett with White, you get pink?  I didn't - I expected a lighter brown, like tan. Now, I have to let it set for 24 hours before I heat set with an iron.  It's not exactly what I'm looking for so will try something else tomorrow.
