Dyeing to Start My Flower Quilt

I’ve been dyeing fabric in preparation for making my Flower Power quilt for Susan Brittingham’s class at QU. I started with a 2-color run, using Dharma’s Sky Blue & Fuchsia.

I like the mid-range color the best for the flower pieces in the quilt (although I can use small pieces of the pink end, as well), so I dyed a gradation set of those.

I had some leftover dye, so I twisted and folded and ended up with these great pieces:

Lots of fun stuff to play with!

Beautiful fabric! I still haven't tried dyeing fabric. I have learned so much at QU. I just signed up for the Screen printing class with Lyric Kinard.
