Worth the Effort

This weekend was mostly spent over-dying fabrics and correcting some piecing. Nothing like saturated colors and very sharp points!

The piece of hand-dyed fabric that I over-dyed with ice and maroon Procion powder made me happy.

 

Another piece of fabric that I had previously dyed a pale blue had turned out to be nondescript. I pleated it lengthwise, folded it in quarters, then tied it tightly every couple inches with cotton twine. I laid the bundle on its side in a very shallow puddle of fuchsia dye, then twelve hours later, turned then bundle over and set it in a shallow puddle of turquoise dye.

 

 

Finally, I tackled that set of points that refused to meet in the center of this little quilt with a hand needle and thread. Nailed it!!!.

 

 

Now it is sandwiched and ready for quilting.
