Venetian Gothic Checkered Marble Floor - Craft Fabric

The tenth design of the Venetian Gothic quilt fabric collection is a typical marble tile floor. Ground floor rooms (piano terreno) required finishes that can withstand wet and dirty conditions. Typically these rooms had floors of stone or marble. I chose the very popular orange and cream checkerboard style. The ground floor rooms were mainly used to store the merchandise that the family’s shipping company was transporting in & out of Venice.

I opted for an old floor in reasonable condition, yet showing show age and wear. It is hard to decide how much dirt and damage to put on a design. The software is designed to facilitate this, but many times I don’t bother. I like a nice clean look to the designs that I make. I also find that “dirt” on the design, really looks like real dirt on the printed fabric. So I tread carefully here.
