Bubble Wrap

Colored masking tape and bubble wrap make for a fun twist on traditional quilt patterns, especially with the effect of light shining through. (Scroll down to see several hangings)

Looking to reuse bubble wrap that was building up in my packing materials, and having a fun assortment of colored masking tape, everything started falling into place. A bonus is the effect of additional colors and enhanced pattern from overlapping the tape, and the hanging is backlit.
