Valentines for Jane: 19

Dolls of Japan
This virtual quilt is made with one of my Dear Jane blocks, J2 - Picture Perfect, and an image cropped from Movement, one of my watercolors. The texture of the watercolor reminds me of Japan. The reference to "dolls" comes from the fabric in the quilt block -- look close and you will see one Japanese doll in each of the "windows." You may need to click on the photo to enlarge it enough.
The inspiration to mix a watercolor with a quilt block came from a "slip of the mouse." While creating another virtual Valentine quilt, I accidentally selected a watercolor instead of a quilt block. It seems to me that invention often happens this way -- with a lucky mistake. Stay tuned for more pairings of Dear Jane blocks with this same cropped image from one of my paintings.
