I started my first dyes of the season last night (hence the kinda dark picture). The weather was perfect (see the condensation in the bags), so I should have nice colors this morning when I wash them out. I did blues/greens/oranges/and fuchsia. Some of the colors looked a little muddy, but then I have found that even these work well as a contrast with brighter colors so things are never lost. I am actually dyeing several FQ's of the same color this time since I have learned that I almost always need several fats of a color rather than just one. I am going to need to buy more fabric since I dyed about 14 yards last night. My foot still isn't healed and between training for the 5k and standing on my feet, I had pain throughout the night. Oh well, what we don't do for quilting.
Hugs and have a great day!
Awww wish I was there so I could join in! It would be fun, fun!
