Make a Quilt Background
Click here to download the quilt patterns that I have.
Open one of the quilt blocks in PSP.
CTRL D to duplicate the original image, close it.
Open the layer palette.
Add a layer, Click on layer2,
hold the mouse button down
and drag it under layer one.

Click on the magic wand. ![]()
Click on layer ONE. (Where the image is)
Click INSIDE the area you want to quilt.

Click on layer 2.
Selections/ Modify/ Expand

1 or 2 pixels

Fill with a color.
We click on layer two so the color goes under the quilt lines.

You will be flipping back and forth like this
in this tutorial.
At any time you can texture a color if you want.
Get the texturizer plug in here.


The quilting comes in as a bevel
I use eyecandy 4000
You can use what ever bevel plugin you like.

Click on layer one,
Click inside the leaf area,
expand 1 or 2 pixels as above.

Click on layer2,
Fill with a color

Bevel

Here I clicked in the flower tip, expanded,
but I didn't bevel it.
Then click on the remaining areas and fill with a flat (or beveled) color

When done the way you want,
merge visible


If the image is a little large for a background,
resize it at 50 - 60%.
Neat Huh?
