Remember all those surface design pieces I was making, well here I got to put a lot of them together into a quilt top. Every piece of fabric here started out as white and then had at least two things done to it. All the fabric was hand-dyed and then was either stamped, painted, batiked with soy wax and dye paint, or bleach discharged. Some had four things done to them.
Exception: Those narrow pink strips are purchased Dupioni silk and the narrow rust strips are unadulterated hand-dyes of mine.
The quilt photographs a little darker that it actually is. I fiddled with the lighting, but that didn't help.
It measures about 32" x 44", a nice size for quilting. I'm looking forward to the quilting, but that will have to wait awhile.
I'm linking up with N

beautiful fabrics -- and you did a good job of putting them together! I particularly like the ones with the discharged circles (the outline ones, not the filled in ones).
wonderful. How satisfying to see your fabrics in use. Instead of storing them like I do

Love it! Very interesting and beautiful.
Lovely - they all play so well together. I will be curious t see how you choose t quilt it.
I love that you use the fabrics that you created, they go so well together. I just make the fabrics, let them pile up and never use them.
Great colors! And how awesome that you dyed all the fabric using so many different techniques. Beautiful!
What a fun and interesting quilt top. And since you made all the fabrics it must be especially satisfying, too.
