What A Wonderf World: Part Two

Finally getting this quilt blogged.

I mentioned a couple of posts back that my group, Erie St Quilters, did a challenge based off the song, What A Wondeful World, sing by Louis Armstrong. 

This was my result. I basically did something similar to a Temperature Quilt, where I assigned each guitar chord in the song a fabric color and then constructed the quilt from there. 

The backing fabric I found at a thrift store. Something like 4 yards. I just love it. 

The fabrics were all hand dyed, mostly by a former member of my quilt quilt and some cherry woods. 

I washed it when I was done and completely forgot about hands dyes running. They did run a bit, but didn't really ruin anything. 

It was also supposed to finish 30x30. It's smaller, which must be from washing. If we decide to enter these somewhere as a group, I'll have to see if I can block it. 

I've started blogging from my phone, so that seems to be going OK. At least I'm blogging again!

Hand Dyed Goodies

This past spring I purchased a rainbow stack of hand dyes from Dye Candy.  I've enjoyed staring at them on my shelf since then.

 At the guild show I added two more stacks.

 I do have a plan for mini hexies with these, but I think I'll stare at them for a while longer.

I also bought an entire CONE of Aurifil! Yay!

* BTW: Chris @ Dye Candy doesn't know me from Eve.  Just a happy customer!
